Common command-line utilities, such as `scp` and `rsync`, may also be used to transfer large amounts of data to DesignSafe. Command line tools require the shortest setup time (assuming you have a compatible terminal), however are generally found challenging for first-time users as you will need to learn unix commands. Therefore, command line transfers are only recommended in specific circumstances where other tools have been tried and found to be insufficient.
