#iPlant Data Store Tutorial
There are multiple ways to access files and directories on the iPlant Data Store (aka iRODS[1]). Here we will cover three methods, each with their pros and cons.
- Browser-based Access --- User-friendly, but low throughput and 2GB upload limit
- iCommands --- High throughput with maximum user control, but must be comfortable with the Command-Line Interface
- iDrop --- High throughput and ability to schedule periodic transfers, but iDrop is in beta release and may have bugs
