Rclone for data transfer between Surfdrive/Researchdrive and Surf Research Cloud
Rclone is a convenient tool for fast data transfer between computers (PC, HPC, cloud) and cloud based storage platforms such as Surfdrive and Researchdrive.
It is a command line tool, so the user would need some experience with using the command line in order to user Rclone. If you’re new to using command line, check out this introductory workshop by Utrecht University’s Digital Competence Center: Introduction to Bash.
The following steps show how you can use rclone on Research cloud for data transfer to e.g. a Jupyterhub or Rstudio workspace application.
