Uploading

To upload requires that you have a password on the Remote Data site. You can sign in using the credentialsDialog ...

rd = RdtClient('isetbio');
rd.credentialsDialog

This will bring up a window that asks you for your name and password. When you are credentialed, this rd object will remember that you are signed in.

Uploading multiple files

We can upload a collection of files within a directory using the publishArtifacts function. In this approach, we place a collection of files in a local folder. We then specify the remote path where the files should be stored. The command to upload is 'publishArtifacts' (note the 's' at the end).

artifact = rd.publishArtifacts(fullPathFolder)
%   ( ... 'remotePath', remotePath) remotePath instead of pwrp()
%   ( ... 'version', version) version instead of default '1'
%   ( ... 'type', type) restrict to type

You can place different file types within the folder, but only upload one type or another. For example, to upload the Matlab files in a local folder to a remote path, the general command might be

rd.crp('/your/upload/path');
fullPathFolder = fullfile(pwd,'localFolder');
rd.publishArtfacts(fullPathFolder,'type','mat');

Also, rather than using the rd.crp() command, you can specify the upload path as a parameter

rd.publishArtifacts(fullPathFolder,'remotePath','/isetbio/<remote path>');

Finally, if this is the 2nd version of the data you would like to upload, you can use

rd.publishArtifacts(fullPathFolder,'remotePath','/your/upload/path','version','2');

Note that the version is a string, not a number.

Uploading a single file

When you upload a file, you must specify the full file path and the remote path. In this case, use the publishArtifact command.

 artifact = rd.publishArtifact(fullPathFile);

Note that there is no 's' at the end of publishArtifact. You can specify these parameter value pairs

 %   ( ... 'remotePath', remotePath) remotePath instead of pwrp()
 %   ( ... 'artifactId', artifactId) artifactId instead of name
 %   ( ... 'version', version) version instead of default '1'

Here is an example

 rd.crp('/resources/data/istim');
 fullPathFile = fullfile(pwd,'barMovie.mat');
 artifact = rd.publishArtifact(fullPathFile);

which is equivalent to

 fullPathFile = fullfile(pwd,'barMovie.mat');
 artifact = rd.publishArtifact(fullPathFile,'remotePath','/resources/data/istim');
