Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to transfer some data from an FTP server directly to Oscar?

Thanks!

Hi, Yes there are multiple ways to do this:

module load lftp
lftp ftp.cs.brown.edu (This will change to your FTP server)
get filename

Let us know at support@ccv.brown.edu, if you encounter any issues.

Works fine, thank @psaluja! I was just missing the -u option to pass the credentials. I’ll write it here for the record:

module load lftp
lftp -u login,passwd MyAwesomeUrl
ls   # Applies on the remote
!ls  # Applies on the local machine
get MyAwesomeFile
mget -d MyAwesomeDirectory
