Day 2 - Breakout 03

Transfer MultiQC Report With scp Exercise (Breakout)

15 Minutes

We just tried two new variations of our MultiQC command, one pointed at the directory of our trimmed FastQC results, and another at the whole project directory. For convenience, we’ve included these reports in the zipped folder you downloaded at the beginning of the class. However, it’s also useful to know how to transfer data to/from a remote instance. We’ll explore how to use scp in this exercise.

Instructions:

• One group member should share their screen in the breakout room. If nobody volunteers, a helper may randomly select someone.
• The group members should discuss the exercise and work together to find a solution.
• After a solution is found, allow time for all members to complete the exercise.

• Make sure that you are viewing your local terminal. The scp command should be run from your own machine.
• Use scp to transfer the trimmed read fastqc report and the comprehensive (all) report from the AWS machine to your personal computer.
• Confirm that you’ve received the reports

Hint: The command format is:

scp source destination

You will need to provide your ssh login information to complete the transfer
