The ieeg.properties File¶
What this page tells you
Create an ieeg.properties file in your cnt1 home directory (ssh cnt1, touch ieeg.properties) with base_dir, url, username, password, and threads=5, so you can upload to ieeg.org. Test with ./ieeg size 'Study 005' in ieeg-latest; expect 3.438GB.
How to Create an ieeg.properties File¶
This file is necessary in order to be able to upload to ieeg.org¶
Helpful link:
- Go to your home directory with these codes:
- In Mobaxterm in the VDI, enter the cnt1 server with this code: ssh cnt1
- Then enter your home directory with this code: cd /home/pennkey
- In your home directory (denoted by /~), create a file called ieeg.properties with this code:
- touch ieeg.properties
- cd /project/eeg_process
- cd programs
- cd ieeg
- cd ieeg-latest
- Edit the properties file to look like the image below, replacing the <> sections with your information

base_dir=~/ieeg-data
url=https://www.ieeg.org/services
username=my_username
password=my_password
threads=5
# aws_secret_key is optional
aws_secret_key=AWS_SECRET_KEY¶
