If we want to train a model or predict with a trained model we will need input data. ForestForesight has created a lot of features that can be used as input. We will use the ff_sync option or Cyberduck to download.

Method 1: Using ff_sync
To use the ff_sync function, you'll need to have R installed along with the ForestForesight package. Here's how to use it:
...
Download and install Cyberduck from The Cyberduck home page
Open Cyberduck and click on "Open Connection"
Choose "S3 (Amazon Simple Storage ServiceHTTPS)" from the dropdown menu. This should be at the bottom. If it is not:
select from the dropdown the option “More Options…”
Go to the tab Profiles
Search for S3 (HTTPS), check the box and now you can close that window and it should be in the main dropdown at the bottom
Enter the following details:
Server: http://s3.amazonaws.com
Access Key ID: (leave blank)
Secret Access Key: (leave blank)
More Options > Path: forestforesight-public
Click "Connect"
You should now see the ForestForesight bucket structure. Navigate to the folders you want:
For preprocessed data: /preprocessed/input/ and /preprocessed/groundtruth/
For models: /models/
For predictions: /predictions/
Find the country or tile you're interested in and download the relevant files by dragging them to a folder on your computer. For an overview of the tiles, check here.
