Summary

Installs desktop application to support data synchronization between a collection located on an iRODS server and a workspace folder.

Requires

Ubuntu desktop environment, iRODS icommands

Description

The myrods_sync function is a user-friendly version of the irsync command found in the iRODS icommands set. The user can select a folder in the workspace and a collection in the connected iRODS zone plus either a retrieve or save action. The actual synchronization will be performed through an irsync function of which the output is presented in a window.

myrods_sync will reuse an already initialized iRODS environment (configured connection) and alternatively create one.
