If you need a quick refresher on how to do that, see [Viewing and Adjusting Your Settings](/settings/viewing-and-adjusting-your-settings.md). * Connect to your Rhino FCP client via SFTP, by entering the following. Note: Ensure to replace `RHINO_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS` in the below command with the credentials found in your profile. ```bash > sftp rhinosftp@RHINO_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS ``` {% endstep %} {% step %} Next, you will be prompted to enter your SFTP password, and if everything is entered properly you will be connected to your Rhino FCP client and your command line should change to look like the following: ```bash sftp> ``` **For additional help with common commands within the SFTP terminal interface, check out the section** [**Common Commands when SFTP'ing Data**](#01H7BJ37P6X1GA3C4DXHDHEFB0) **.** {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} #### Connecting to your Rhino FCP Client via SFTP from Other Operating Systems {% stepper %} {% step %} To SFTP data from other Operating Systems to your Rhino FCP client, you will need to first install an SFTP client, like [Cyberduck](https://cyberduck.io/), [WinSCP](https://winscp.net/eng/index.php), etc. {% endstep %} {% step %} Once your SFTP client has been installed, you can configure a new SFTP connection. * Retrieve your SFTP server IP and credentials from your Rhino FCP profile page. If you need a quick refresher on how to do that, see [Viewing and Adjusting Your Settings](/settings/viewing-and-adjusting-your-settings.md). * If you are successfully connected to your SFTP client, you should see two separate panels, one displaying your local machines file system and a second showing your Rhino FCP client's filesystem. {% endstep %} {% step %} Using the STFP client to upload your data: * On the local machine file system panel, navigate to the folder where your data is located. * On the Rhino FCP client file system panel, navigate to where you would like to place the data. Note: It is recommended that you create folders for your datasets to keep things organized. * Drag the files from the local machine file system panel to the Rhino FCP client file system panel to upload your data to the Rhino FCP client server. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} #### Common Commands when SFTP'ing Data Use the following commands to create folders, navigate to different folders, view folder contents, and upload data. **Create a new folder called DIRECTORY\_NAME within your Rhino FCP client** ```bash sftp> mkdir DIRECTORY_NAME ``` **Change to the specified directory, DIRECTORY\_NAME within your Rhino FCP client** ```bash sftp> cd DIRECTORY_NAME ``` **List all files within the current directory on your Rhino FCP client** ```bash sftp> ls ``` **Upload the specified file FILE\_NAME on your local machine to the current directory of your Rhino FCP client** ```bash sftp> put FILE_NAME ``` **Upload the folder and all of its contents on your local machine to the current directory of your Rhino FCP client** ```bash sftp> put -r DIRECTORY_NAME ``` **Exit out of the SFTP connection** ```bash sftp> exit ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.rhinofcp.com/datasets/importing-data-in-my-local-environment-onto-my-rhino-fcp-client-using-sftp.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
