There are two methods to connect to the CB3 iRODS instance: using your web browser, or via CyberDuck.
### Connect using your web browser
Simply go to [https://cb3-irodsmain.unl.edu](https://cb3-irodsmain.unl.edu) and login using your my.UNL credentials.
_Please note that the web interface is not suitable for uploading/downloading data in excess of 50MB._ Larger
data transfers should use CyberDuck instead.
### How to connect using CyberDuck
##### Follow this guide to setup Cyberduck for the first time when connecting to the CB3 iRODS datastore.
1. Download and install the Cyberduck from [the Cyberduck website](https://cyberduck.io/), or using the following direct links.
Cyberduck can also be installed from the Windows or Mac app store.
- [Windows installer](https://update.cyberduck.io/windows/Cyberduck-Installer-7.0.2.30998.exe)
- [Mac installer](https://update.cyberduck.io/Cyberduck-7.0.2.30998.zip)
2. <a class="external-link" href="https://cb3-irodsmain.unl.edu/metalnx/images/CB3.cyberduckprofile" ref="nofollow">Download the linked Cyberduck profile (right-click, save-as)</a> to a convenient location. Some browsers may append `.xml` to the filename. You may need to manually rename it to remove `.xml`.
3. Double-click on the downloaded file. It will open Cyberduck and add a new profile with the required information already filled in.

You may change the `Nickname` if you prefer. Fill in the Username field with you my.UNL username.
4. After filling in your username, close the profile window. You should now see the Cyberduck bookmarks window with the new bookmark.
