How do I access SDSC Cloud storage?

There are several ways to access the cloud:

OpenStack Swift API

Legacy Accounts:

• Cyberduck, an FTP-like stand alone GUI application
• Swift, a Python command line script

New and Migrated Accounts:

• Cyberduck, an FTP-like stand alone GUI application
• Swift, a Python command line script

To upload files under 5 GB, Cyberduck is recommended. Cyberduck can also be used to upload files greater than 5 GB one at a time. In general, however, the Swift command line script is the best option for uploading files over 5 GB.
