Mountain-Duck-iRODS.md

+# Main
+
+The goal of this article is to have Mountain Duck interface with RIT's iRODS instance. Mountain Duck emulates a locally attached storage with a remote back-end. This allows applications that cannot interface with iRODS to read and write files to iRODS through a regular file interface.
+
+Mountain Duck has support for iRODS however it lacks a settings page to add iRODS settings to. To get this going, a file is added to the installation directory of Mountain Duck.
+
+Overview:
+
+1. Modifying Mountain Duck for iRODS support
+	- This can be avoided for MAC OSX users by downloading a modified version from [here](https://sickkidsca-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/omar_hamdan_sickkids_ca/EtjnDfNrBkdKnsYqUhSWcaUB2qHGHqLB0XFlnzsZ7JjvKA). Beware that this may not by the latest version of Mountain Duck.
