In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of using Wasabi's DNMFT to transfer large files to Wasabi's cloud storage. We will cover the benefits of using DNMFT, the prerequisites for using the feature, and the step-by-step process for uploading files using DNMFT.

Benefits of Using Wasabi's Direct Native Multipart File Transfer

Using Wasabi's DNMFT offers several benefits, including:

• Faster transfer speeds: DNMFT allows you to transfer large files directly to Wasabi's storage infrastructure, bypassing intermediate servers and reducing transfer times.
• Increased security: By transferring files directly to Wasabi's storage infrastructure, you can ensure that your files are stored securely and are not exposed to potential security risks.
• Cost-effective: DNMFT eliminates the need for intermediate servers or third-party services, reducing costs and making it a more cost-effective option for large file transfers.

Prerequisites for Using Wasabi's Direct Native Multipart File Transfer

Before you can use Wasabi's DNMFT, you will need to meet the following prerequisites:

• Wasabi account: You must have a Wasabi account and be logged in to the Wasabi dashboard.
• Large file: You must have a large file that you want to transfer to Wasabi's storage infrastructure.
• Compatible client software: You must have compatible client software installed on your computer or device, such as the Wasabi CLI or a third-party FTP client.

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Using Wasabi's Direct Native Multipart File Transfer

In this tutorial, we will use the Wasabi CLI to demonstrate the process of uploading a large file to Wasabi's storage infrastructure using DNMFT.

Step 1: Install the Wasabi CLI

To use the Wasabi CLI, you will need to install it on your computer or device. You can download the Wasabi CLI from the Wasabi website and follow the installation instructions.

Step 2: Log in to the Wasabi CLI

Once you have installed the Wasabi CLI, you will need to log in to your Wasabi account using the following command:

wasabi login

You will be prompted to enter your Wasabi account credentials. Enter your email address and password, and then press Enter to log in.

Step 3: Create a Bucket

Before you can upload a file to Wasabi's storage infrastructure, you will need to create a bucket. A bucket is a container that holds your files and is used to organize your data.

To create a bucket, use the following command:

wasabi bucket create <bucket-name>

Replace <bucket-name> with the name you want to give your bucket.

Step 4: Upload a File using DNMFT

To upload a file using DNMFT, use the following command:

wasabi upload <file-name> --multipart

Replace <file-name> with the name of the file you want to upload.

The --multipart option tells the Wasabi CLI to use DNMFT to upload the file. This option is required for large files.

Step 5: Monitor the Upload Progress

Once you have initiated the upload process, you can monitor the progress using the following command:

wasabi upload status <file-name>

Replace <file-name> with the name of the file you are uploading.

The wasabi upload status command will display the upload progress, including the percentage complete and the estimated time remaining.

Step 6: Verify the Upload

Once the upload is complete, you can verify that the file has been successfully uploaded to Wasabi's storage infrastructure using the following command:

wasabi ls <bucket-name>

Replace <bucket-name> with the name of the bucket you created in Step 3.

The wasabi ls command will display a list of files in the bucket, including the file you just uploaded.

That's it! You have successfully used Wasabi's Direct Native Multipart File Transfer to upload a large file to Wasabi's storage infrastructure.
