 So far, we have described how to access the RDMS through the [[rdms:webapp|RDMS web interface]]. The RDMS can also be accessed, however, through other clients and protocols. In this section of the Wiki and in its subsections, we will describe how to access and transfer data to the RDMS using first- and third-party clients that can be installed on your own machine. The reason to use other ways to connect to the RDMS is rooted in the fact that the web interface can only manage file transfers of 50 MB each. If the amount of data you want to transfer is larger than that, you will need to make use of one of the clients listed below. So far, we have described how to access the RDMS through the [[rdms:webapp|RDMS web interface]].

-In the paragraph above, we mentioned the use of clients and different protocols to access the RDMS. What we mean when we talk about a client is a piece of software that you can install in your operating system, and that allows you to perform a given set of operations. The protocol we mentioned above is the way the client talks to the RDMS, and it determines things such as transfer speed, maximum file transfer size, information shared with the system, etc. We will discuss the protocols used by the different clients directly in the wiki pages related to these clients.+In the paragraph above, we mentioned the use of clients and different protocols to access the RDMS.

-The [[rdms:webapp|RDMS web interface]] is the main third-party client to access the RDMS. However, since it is only possible to [[rdms:data:filesize|transfer files directly]] as long as they are not larger than 50 MB, you will have to use another third-party client to transfer your data to the system. Below is a list of third-party clients that we support, and that are dependent on the operating system you are using:+The [[rdms:webapp|RDMS web interface]] is the main third-party client to access the RDMS.
