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.
