Most free software providers usually want some information from your these days so this was nice to that Cyberduck can be installed without any of this! It is also nice to report that at no point during this process was I asked to sign-up for an account or validate my email address and so on. Once downloaded the installation was impressively quick and easy taking only a few seconds and needing only a couple of clicks of the mouse before being ready to go! This begins in the next section where I will download the installer and start working with Cyberduck on my own Windows PC! Downloading and InstallingĬyberduck is free and open source software, as such it can easily be installed via the Cyberduck Downloads Page and at just over 47MB this is a relatively quick and easy download. There are several other applications that are calling for this, both as an agent and as a GUI on remote machines or instruments (like microscopes).In this section of my Cyberduck review I will be making use of the software myself and looking at the functionality on offer in more detail.

That certainly makes sense as some of these pluggable transports may include access to C libraries under the covers. On higher performance transports, there is about to be a good deal of work rolling out on replacing parallel transfer, including the ability to plug in alternative, even vendor-specific transports, and it may well be that we revive a simpler, more focusedĭesktop transfer utility that can avail itself of these extended transport methods.

If we can take this lighter weight approach and focus on stream transfer performance, it may end up much simpler. Since Cyberduck is using streaming i/o I am suggesting that perhaps we don't try to 'fit a square peg in a round hole' and instead look at a much lighter weight stream access to irods, via REST, WebDav, or even SFTP. Unexpected behavior with multi-threaded access). Cyberduck wants to move connections between threads, while Jargon is designed to prevent just that (due to the stateful nature of iRODS agents, and issues in prior designs with There is a design difference between the two things.
