How to get your data in
Sometimes it is necessary to get data or code into the TRE. As the TRE is shut off from the internet this presents a challenge. This guide explains how to do this.
Copying text in¶
A small amount of text can be pasted in from external systems using the Clipboard tool. This does not allow copy/paste out. This might, for example, be useful should you need to copy in a difficult to write function.
First select the horizontal chevron on the left-hand-side of the TRE:
This will reveal the TRE tools:
Click on the "Clipboard" button:
Paste your external text/code/data (up to 10kB) into the text box using Ctrl-V (or Mac equivalent):
Go to a TRE terminal/text editor/application and paste in the external text using Ctrl-V (or Mac equivalent):
Uploading user data into the TRE¶
You can upload data to your Sandbox specific green-uploads bucket, which you can find using the table below:
Once uploaded, please email hgi@sanger.ac.uk with the names of the files/directories you'd like to be transferred and which Sandbox you like them to be transferred to.
Patient identifying data
Please do not transfer any patient identifying data to the G&H TRE, for example data containing patient names, NHS numbers, dates of birth, etc.
Tip
Please be aware at present, all users in your sandbox can see all data that is being stored in the green library. For this reason, it is important that you do not upload any data that you do not want other users to see.
