This week, I worked with the Solve-RD platform (for rare diseases). My PhD works on utilizing whole-exome sequencing trios dataset related to epilepsy encephalopathy to gain some information on de-novo variants at FutureNeuro Centre (RCSI Dublin). Some of the cases are solved, and some trios are still remaining unsolved.
To start testing the Solve-RD software known as GPAP, I copied all my testing datasets from the server into my local machine. The aims are to upload all these sequences files into the GPAP platform. The files are in Fastq format.
The easier way to copy the file from server to local is using scp command. I use MobaXterm for this purpose as I am working with Windows. The idea is simple as below:
$ scp serveruser@serverip:serverpath localpath
To copy the file into my laptop:
$ scp username@ipaddress:/path/to/your/folder/data/in/server/*.fastq.gz /path/to/your/folder/in/your/local
NOTE: You need to run the scp command from the local machine, not on the remote. You don't need the ssh at all.
