# Software on Transit

[Transit](../cluster_guides/transit.md)
is an UPPMAX service that can be used to securely transfer files.

This page describes the software on [Transit](../cluster_guides/transit.md).

After [logging in to Transit](../cluster_guides/login_transit.md),
you cannot make lasting changes to anything,
except for mounted [wharf](../cluster_guides/wharf.md) directories.
However, anything you have added to your [Rackham](../cluster_guides/rackham.md) home directory
is available on [Transit](../cluster_guides/transit.md).

In addition, some modules are available.

* SciLifeLab Data Delivery System - [https://delivery.scilifelab.se/](https://delivery.scilifelab.se/)

```bash
# Load the tool from the software module tree
module load bioinfo-tools dds-cli

# Run the tool
dds
```
![dds-cli](../img/dds-cli.png)

To download data from TCGA,
[log in to Rackham](../getting_started/login_rackham.md)
and install the GDC client to your home directory.
Then [logg in to Transit](../cluster_guides/login_transit.md),
mount the [wharf](../cluster_guides/wharf.md),
and run `./gdc-client`.

!!! warning "2FA on transit"

If you connect from abroad and
you are asked for the **2FA** (_two factor authentication_),
there is a grace period (_about 5 minutes_) in which you can
`ssh`/`scp`/`rsync`/`sftp` to **transit** without the need for **2FA**.
This allows you to use these and other tools
that might experience problems with the **2FA**.
