Hi Sara,

I'd like to make sure that I'm understanding your question correctly.

So are you asking if you could take the files in the file repository (https://www.labkey.org/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=fileTutorial1) for ProjectA and move only certain files of your choosing to ProjectB's file repository?

If that is your question, you wouldn't be able to do this within the UI since each container (projects and folders) are individual silos that have no ability within the UI to pass data from one container to another when it comes to the file repository.

That said, because the file repository uses WebDAV as the protocol, you could use a WebDAV client to do the transferring instead.

For example, I can use CyberDuck on my Mac (https://cyberduck.io/) to access the specific WebDAV directory of a LabKey instance by getting the WebDAV URL and my username/password to get access to the directory and then transfer to another directory within the LabKey file repository structure.

Regards,

Jon

Hi Sara,

Just an FYI, this issue has been resolved in the upcoming 18.2 Release of LabKey according to https://www.labkey.org/home/Developer/issues/issues-details.view?issueId=33785

So this means that you should be able to access your webdav directory (like https://mylabkeyserver.com/_webdav), navigate to the specific folder and files, then move them to another location and all within the same UI without any 3rd party tools.

Regards,

Jon
