Requirements
Python 3.6.x or greater, and boto3 if accessing S3 resources such as acacia.
Remotes
pshell maintains a list of registered remote servers and the current connection state. The active remote is shown in the left part of pshell's command prompt:
portal:> remote portal not connected to: https://data.pawsey.org.au:443 public not connected to: https://data.pawsey.org.au:443 aws not connected to: 'ap-southeast-2' pawsey0002 not connected to: https://acacia.pawsey.org.au
New remotes can be added that point to either a Mediaflux server or an S3 resources, such as Acacia or AWS-S3 - see the guide for more details.
Logging in
Authenticate to a remote using the appropriate credentials. In the case of the data portal it will be your Pawsey credentials. In the case of an S3 resource it will be your key and secret pair.
portal:>login Username: sean Password: portal:> remote portal authenticated to: https://data.pawsey.org.au/aterm as user=ivec:sean public not connected to: https://data.pawsey.org.au:443
You can now navigate (cd, ls) and transfer files (put, get) between your local filesystem and your remote storage resource.
Command syntax
The command line client implements a subset of the standard SFTP commands.
Remote filesystem commands: cd, ls, pwd, mkdir, rmdir
Local filesystem commands: lcd, lls, lpwd
Transfer commands: get, put
Finding out more
To see an overview of the available commands, type "help" at the prompt. You can also type "help <command>" to obtain specific help on the named command.
