Data transfers - melisakman/Helianthus GitHub Wiki

There are several ways to transfer data to the cluster storage space. The login node to do this is different from your regular login node. You connect to this node by:

$ ssh [email protected]

But you still use the same system for the password. Yep, the combination of your password and the 6-digit number from google authenticator.

Another way to get to this node is to directly ssh from the login node. So after you do:

$ ssh [email protected]

You simply do:

$ ssh dtn

And this will take you to the data transfer node (dtn)

I always use scp to transfer files and do this on my local computer. To transfer files from the server do:

$ scp [email protected]:Directory/file DirectoryOnLocalComputer

or from local computer to server:

$ scp DirectoryOnLocalComputer/file [email protected]:Directory/

For both of these you will need to use google authenticator.
