Please note that the SPSP Transfer Tool was fully re-factored and is now available as the SendCrypt tool either on the [command line](https://gitlab.sib.swiss/clinbio/sendcrypt/sendcrypt-cli) or through a graphical [user interface](https://sendcrypt.sib.swiss/). Please find all documentation [here](https://clinbiokb.sib.swiss/s/sendcrypt).
The aim of the Transfer Tool (TT) is to provide a tool allowing users of the Swiss Pathogen Surveillance Platform to easily and securely transfer sequencing files. The TT is a simple shell script relying on multiple libraries (such as GPG and OpenSSH) to archive, hash, encrypt and transfer FASTQ files with their metadata.
