= Uploading Data =
If you have been asked to send the !FreeSurfer team a file, you can either send it via FTP or File Drop. Instructions for both are below.

When sending us data, please keep in mind any restrictions dictated by the IRB protocol governing this data. By default, mgz files (the !FreeSurfer file format) have been stripped of any identifying information. However, you may want to consider defacing your data before you send it.

= FTP File Exchange =

An FTP server is available to which, under special circumstances, files may be uploaded. Also, sometimes special distributions or bug fixes are posted to the server for user download.

Use '''ftp surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu'''. Login as '''anonymous''' and use your email address as the password.

Example login:

{{{
$ ftp surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu
Connected to surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu (132.183.202.158).

}}}

If you are '''getting''' files, then
{{{
ftp> cd transfer/outgoing
ftp> get filename.txt
}}}
If you are '''putting''' files, then
{{{
ftp> cd transfer/incoming
ftp> put filename.txt
}}}
If you want the directory containing the public distributions of !FreeSurfer:
{{{
ftp> cd pub/dist/freesurfer
}}}

The '''dir''' command will show directory contents. The '''get''' command will download a file to your machine.

For those inside NMR center, go to '''/cluster/outgoing''' and put files in its subdirectory. You can get user transfered files from '''/cluster/incoming'''. It takes 5 minutes or so to actually see the files there after the transfer.

= Email File Drop =
An alternative to ftp is the [[https://gate.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/filedrop2/|Martinos Center File Drop]]. There is a 100MB limit (or 500MB for a group of files) so you will want to compress the file(s) when necessary.
