Move data onto your instance

Surprise!

You’ve already been working on the cloud instance and moving data from external servers onto your instance as well as moving data around your instance.

Remember, when you downloaded the E. coli dataset to work with?

wget ftp://blahblahblahblah

In this case, you are using a command line tool, wget, to download content from a webserver. This command supports downloading files from FTP and HTTP(s). The tool wget also supports recursive download (with the parameter -r), allowing you to download content from a directory or folder. For your information, there are other command line tools that can also be used to download data (e.g., curl), but wget should serve you well for this lesson and bioinformatic analysis.

If you’re interested in transferring files on your computer to your instance, you can follow these operating-specific instructions.
