# Batch

The DNAnexus Platform provides two command-line tools for transferring large numbers of files or large individual files between your local environment and the platform.

[Upload Agent](/user/objects/uploading-and-downloading-files/batch/upload-agent.md) is a fast, concurrent upload client that can resume interrupted uploads and upload up to 1000 files at a time.

[Download Agent](/user/objects/uploading-and-downloading-files/batch/download-agent.md) is designed for long-running downloads, verifying file integrity in real time and supporting post-download re-validation.
