Retrieving Data

If you have stored data with a Lotus Storage Miner in the network, you can search for it by Data CID

$ lotus client find <Data CID>
LOCAL
RETRIEVAL <miner>@<miner peerId>-<deal funds>-<size>

Retrieve data from a Lotus Storage Miner.

$ lotus client retrieve <Data CID> <outfile>

This will initiate a retrieval deal and write the data to the outfile. This process may take 2 to 10 minutes.
