| One such option is to use the [[rdms:webapp|RDMS web portal]]. It is built to use a web browser to connect to the RDMS by navigating to this location: https://research.web.rug.nl/rdmswebapp. Since all you need is a working browser, this option is actually independent of your operating system. When it comes to file transfers, the portal will allow you to [[rdms:data:filesize|upload or download single files of small size]] (~32MB) while the main functionality of the portal is to provide user management of groups and projects and to create an easy workflow for scientific projects. | One such option is to use the [[rdms:webapp|RDMS web portal]].

| If you'd rather use the Windows 'File Explorer' instead of the web portal to connect to the RDMS, you can use the WebDAV protocol as described below. Connecting to the RDMS in this way will allow you to transfer files to the system, but will not allow you to manage permissions or work with metadata. For that you will still need to access the web portal. {{ :rdms:access:webdavwindowsexpl.png?400|}} | If you'd rather use the Windows 'File Explorer' instead of the web portal to connect to the RDMS, you can use the WebDAV protocol as described below.

If you plan to transfer single files bigger than this limit, the WebDAV connection in Windows File Explorer is not an option.
