How to "Copy" Existing Data Between Your Mediaflux Projects

It is possible to "copy" data between two Mediaflux projects (that you have the adequate access permission) via the Mediaflux Desktop web client. We are working to incorporate this feature into the future version of Mediaflux Explorer.

Please note the following:

  • Currently you can copy at the folder-level and not individual files. You can copy the whole folder over and delete the files that you don't need at the destination project.
  • All existing ACL on the data will be removed after the copy.

Please follow the steps below:

    Domain: unimelb
    User: YOUR-UNIMELB-USERNAME
    Password: YOUR-UNIMELB-PASSWORD
 

  • After log-in, double-click on "Asset Finder" from the left menu bar
  • Click the "+" sign next to the "projects" on the folder panel to navigate to the source project and select the folder that contains the data you want to copy from
  • Right-click on that selected source folder and click on "Copy Namespace" option from the pop-up menu
  • Put your "destination" in the "to:" field, e.g.,: /projects/proj-migration_shared_test-1128.4.544
  • If you want to move the selected source folder to a sub-folder at your destination project, you can do so by adding the full path to the desired sub-folder, e.g., /projects/proj-migration_shared_test-1128.4.544/test/test_1 (this will copy the selected folder into the test_1 sub-folder of proj-migration_shared_test-1128.4.544 project)
