Using Cloud Storage
How do I access SDSC Cloud storage?
There are several ways to access the cloud:
OpenStack Swift API
New and Migrated Accounts (Version 3 Authentication):
Cyberduck, an FTP-like stand alone GUI application [Windows, macOS]
Swift, a Python command line script created by the OpenStack Foundation [Windows, macOS, Linux]
Rclone, command line rsync for cloud storage [Windows, macOS, Linux]
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.
AWS S3 API
SDSC recommends using the OpenStack Swift API to access our cloud storage. We only recommend using the S3 API if your application doesn't support the OpenStack Swift API.
