Transfer Tool User Guide

2026-Feb - in development

Overview

The eResearch Transfer Tool provides a web-based frontend that can both generate archives and their metadata of research data, and transfer these directly between eResearch storage systems

Accessible at https://transfer.erc.monash.edu (TBC)

Setup

The Transfer Tool copies data via sftp, using ssh certificates. In order to use it the user's account must trust the issuing certificate authority, and on some systems this will require an explicit line must be entered in their authorized_keys file
