SFTP Directory Structure

When accessing the Data Store via SFTP, you'll encounter a different directory structure compared to other tools like GoCommands and iCommands. SFTP users have access to following directories:

Home Directory

/<username>

• Maps to your iRODS home directory /iplant/home/<username>
• Read and write access for the owner
• Not provided to anonymous users

Community-shared Data Directory

/shared

• Maps to the iRODS community-shared data directory: /iplant/home/shared
• Read-only access

.ssh Directory

/.ssh

• Automatically generated by the SFTP service
• Not used and should be ignored
• Distinct from /<username>/.ssh

For password-less public-key authentication, use /<username>/.ssh instead.
