Uploading and Downloading Data Packages

Data packages, while created locally, can be uploaded to a network server, or downloaded from a network server to your PC, to become a shared network data package.

Morpho Preferences

Begin by telling Morpho the location of the network. Go to "File", and select "Set preferences...". The following screen will appear.

 

 

Type the URL of the metacatalog, or network, in the first field. The other fields under Morpho Preferences can be used to control the look and feel of Morpho, the debug level (this affects the content of any error messages you may encounter in Morpho), and whether or not the error messages are logged. Click here for more information on these options. Click "Set" when finished setting preferences, or "Cancel" to undo.

 

Uploading to a Network

There are two ways to place a data package you have created on a network. These are: saving the data package on the network, and synchronizing.

 

After creating a data package and setting the metacat URL, you can save the data package both locally and/or on a network by selecting "Save..." under the "File" menu, as pictured below.

 

 

You will then see the window below. Select "Local", "Network", or both, by checking the appropriate boxes, and clicking "Save".

 

 

Data Packages can also be uploaded by choosing the "File" menu, then clicking "Synchronize". You will see the screen below when using this option. Click "Execute" after reading the screen.

 

 

Downloading from a Network

Similarly to uploading a data package, you can download a data package to your local PC from the network (that you specified in Morpho preferences) by first opening or searching for data packages, then right-clicking on a desired data package and selecting "Synchronize" (or through the same option on the "File" menu). The screen below shows how right-clicking brings up a menu of options.

 

 

Notice you also have the option to delete data packages listed in the open or search results windows. You are only allowed to delete packages that you have created, or for which you have special permissions that the data package originator has defined.

 

Note also the "Export" feature. This allows you to select a directory where you want the package exported to. Click here to read more about the export feature.
