4 title: "Uploading data"
7 This tutorial describes how to to upload new Arvados data collections using the command line tool @arv-put@. This example uses a freely available TSV file containing variant annotations from "Personal Genome Project (PGP)":http://www.pgp-hms.org participant "hu599905.":https://my.pgp-hms.org/profile/hu599905

11 # Begin by installing the "Arvados Python SDK":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/python/sdk-python.html on the system from which you will upload the data (such as your workstation, or a server containing data from your sequencer). This will install the Arvados file upload tool, @arv-put@. Alternately, you can log into an Arvados VM (instructions for "Unix":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/ssh-access-unix.html#login or "Windows":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/ssh-access-windows.html#login).
12 # On system from which you will upload data, configure the environment with the Arvados instance host name and authentication token as decribed in "Getting an API token.":{{site.baseurl}}/user/reference/api-tokens.html (If you are logged into an Arvados VM, you can skip this step.)
13 # Download the following example file. (If you are uploading your own data, you can skip this step.)
15 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">curl -o var-GS000016015-ASM.tsv.bz2 'https://warehouse.pgp-hms.org/warehouse/f815ec01d5d2f11cb12874ab2ed50daa+234+K@ant/var-GS000016015-ASM.tsv.bz2'</span>

21 # Now upload the file to Keep using @arv-put@:
23 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arv-put var-GS000016015-ASM.tsv.bz2</span>

29 * The output value @c1bad4b39ca5a924e481008009d94e32+210@ is the Arvados collection locator that uniquely describes this file.
31 Now visit the Workbench *Dashboard*. In the *My projects* pane, select your *Home* project. Your newly uploaded collection should appear near the top of the *Data collections* tab. The collection locator printed by @arv-put@ will appear under the *name* column. To move the collection to a different project, check the box at the left of the collection row. Pull down the *Selection...* menu near the top of the page tab, and select *Move selected*.

35 This will open a dialog box where you can select a destination project for the collection. Click a project, then finally the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Move</span> button.
37 Click on the *<i class="fa fa-fw fa-archive"></i> Show* button next to the collection's listing on a project page to go to the Workbench page for your collection. On this page, you can see the collection's contents, download individual files, and set sharing options.
41 h2(#dir). Putting a directory
43 If you give @arv-put@ a directory, it will recursively upload the entire directory:
46 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">mkdir tmp</span>
47 ~$ <span class="userinput">echo "hello alice" > tmp/alice.txt</span>
48 ~$ <span class="userinput">echo "hello bob" > tmp/bob.txt</span>
49 ~$ <span class="userinput">echo "hello carol" > tmp/carol.txt</span>
50 ~$ <span class="userinput">arv-put tmp</span>
