Files

The ‘Files’ menu provides a file explorer that allows you to navigate through your files and folders. General file explorer options like moving, deleting, modifying and creating files or directories are available as well.

From the ‘Files’ menu, you can access all $VSC_* folders available to you.

Download/upload

You can also use the Files interface to download and upload to and from your local machine. Be aware that this is not recommended for very large files.

For large files we recommend Globus. The Globus button takes you directly to the Globus login page, and upon a successful login to your Globus account (using your institution credentials), you will land on the same sub-directory from which you clicked on the Globus button.

File editing

You can edit a file via the button with 3 vertical dots and a down arrow on the right side of the file.

Tip

The standard ctrl+s keyboard shortcut does not save your edited files on the web portal, but will trigger a save on your local machine. Luckily, there is a Save button in the upper left corner of the editor page.
