If your user account has the Read, Write, or Own permission level on a collection, the following command allows you to download that collection and all subcollections to your local system:
dm_download_collection [optional parameters] <source-path> <destination-path>
The maximum collection download is 3 TB.
The following table describes each parameter:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| [-h] | If you want to print a usage (help) message for this command, specify this option. |
| [-t <num-threads>] | If you want to use this parameter, contact NCIDataVault@mail.nih.gov for guidance. |
| <source-path> | A path within DME. Specify the path for the DME collection you want to download. |
| <destination-path> | A path in your local system. Specify where you want the system to create the downloaded file or files. If the destination folder structure you specify does not already exist, DME creates it. |
The following example downloads the Project_Orig collection in DME to a JaneDoe folder. (The command creates a Project_Orig folder.)
dm_download_collection /Example_Archive/PI_Lab1/Project_Orig /NCI/JaneDoe
