How to upload to your own IVM via /finngen/green

Step 1:

When you get access to FinnGen Sandbox, you are told in which bucket your cloud storage is (“fg-production-sandbox-6_greenuploads” in the following example) or you can also lookup this information from the file "buckets.txt" on the desktop of the IVM. The location of “buckets.txt” file in the IVM desktop is demonstrated here). This is the place where you can upload files to “/finngen/green” directory.

Step 2:

Select “UPLOAD FILES” which opens a file selection dialog on your own computer. Suppose you’d like to upload the file “An_example.txt” to the green library. It would show up as in the following image.

URLs to greenuploads and greendownloads buckets are:

• https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/fg-production-sandbox-N_greenuploads

• https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/fg-production-sandbox-N_greendownloads

Where N is the number of your institution Sandbox.

Step 3:

Now your file will go through an automatic virus scan. A virus scan will take from 5 to 20 min. If the virus scan is clear the file will be uploaded to the green folder in your Sandbox IVM. If the file doesn't pass the virus scan it will be contained. If your file does not appear in the green bucket after reasonable delay contact [e-mail].

Step 4:

After upload you can navigate to your file either by using the graphical user interface (“File System/finngen/green”) or the command line (“/finngen/green”).
