Data Import and Export

This guide explains options for moving data into and out of StreamGPU containers beyond SSH and SFTP.

Choose a transfer method

  • SFTP/SCP: Best for small files or direct interactive copy. See the SFTP guide for examples.
  • Container import: Use this when bringing data from external object storage into a container path.
  • Container export: Use this when exporting container data to an external object-storage link.

Transfer sessions

Large transfers may not complete immediately, so they are handled as sessions. After a session is created, you can check its progress and retrieve the resulting link when it is ready.

  • Select the container and target path.
  • Wait until the session reaches a ready state.
  • Failed sessions can be retried after reviewing the cause.
  • Issued download links may expire for security reasons.

Security notes

  • Do not share issued links in public channels.
  • Check for personal data, private keys, or tokens before importing or exporting files.
  • Back up required results before deleting a container.
  • In organization accounts, data access may depend on your team's permission policy.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm that the container is running.
  • Confirm that the target path exists and has the required permissions.
  • Check whether the object-storage link has expired.
  • When contacting support, include the transfer session ID, container ID, target path, and error message.
