We looked, we tried, we really did. I spent a few weeks digging into GridFTP and udt, and we have used (maybe still use) bbcp in-consortium. The combination of requirements -- XNAT authorization, straightforward client installation, clean browser integration (because most of our users don't want to write a script just to download files), and needing it all working quickly -- pushed us to Aspera. I'd love to have analogous FOSS infrastructure for XNAT generally, but I think that's at least a year of work (and not on anyone's to-do list). > >> There are a couple of additional data access methods that we'll be >> implementing down the road.

Start from https://wiki.humanconnectome.org/display/DataUse/ConnectomeDB%2C+pyxnat%2C+and+the+OHBM+Hackathon (an earlier iteration of the pyxnat-ConnectomeDB tutorial that I sent earlier, including some details about the S3-hosted data) and let us know what you think. If you didn't sign up for the hackathon, you might not have access: you'll have to sign the HCP Data Use Terms if you haven't already and then I guess contact Nolan Nichols <nolan.nich...@gmail.com>, who seemed to be the hackathon point person for the Amazon stuff. - Kevin ________________________________ The material in this message is private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information (PHI).
