Is there a command that might help to transfer a BAM file to a website? Thank you

What sort of transfer? Uploading a bam file to a tool/site (e.g. galaxy) or uploading it to a web location so it becomes available for others to download.
For the latter, you would need to be able to access the backend server (so you can upload the file via scp/sftp). You will need an account on the server in question. -
It is the latter of the two (transfer to site to download from). Would lftp work?
3 files are put in a folder named "test" (BAM ~20GB, VCF, and coverage analysis) then zipped using:
Code:tar -zcf /path/to/file.tar.gz -C /Desktop/test
To view the transferCode:lftp https://something.sharefile.com/login.aspx lftp https://something.sharefile.com/login.aspx:~> user xxxxxx Password: xxxxxxx lftp https://something.sharefile.com/login.aspx:~> mirror -R /home/dnascopeV/Desktop/Test
To unzip (not sure if this will work as it might be basic HTTP and not what I need):Code:lftp https://something.sharefile.com/login.aspx:~> ls
ThanksCode:wget --http-user cmccabe --http -passwd xxxx*** https://something.sharefile.com/login.aspx -O - | tar -zxf -

Looks like you have everything under control :-)
I would just download (reversing lftp) and then unzip locally to be safe after the transfer is complete.Comment

can lftp be used in cygwin? Thank you.

If you can compile it then yes. Give it a try.Comment

I am not sure what you mean by downloading (reversing lftp), can you use it in an example. I just learned lftp a few weeks ago and finding it very useful. Thank you.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...Yesterday, 05:17 AM -
Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.
Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
