Sharing Public Data using Cyberduck

  1. In the SDSC Cloud dashboard (How to Access Your Cloud Files from Dashboard), navigate to the container of the objects you want to share.

  2. Click the “Public Access” checkbox to enable sharing (Note: all objects in the container will be accessible over the internet to anyone).

  3. In Cyberduck, right click on the object you want to share, expand the “Copy URL” menu, and choose the HTTPS URL option that starts with https://object.cloud.sdsc.edu/ (Note: Cyberduck may also show a HTTPS URL option that starts with https://dentity.cloud.sdsc.edu; do not choose this option because it will not work)

  4. The URL to the object should now be in your computer’s clipboard. Paste it into an email or other preferred method of sharing the link to the object.

Please see the general sharing data guide if you need to share large amounts of data or don’t want the data to be available to the public: How do I share data in SDSC Cloud Storage with colleagues who don't have SDSC Cloud access?
