Transferring files to the Isaac Newton Cluster

Windows

Users can easily transfer files from there PC to the cluster through the use of a shared drive. To map your local drive, you will need to do the following steps:

(Please note that you need to have already connected to the cluster via SSH [putty] to be able to map the drive)

    * Open up My Computer;
    * Click on the menu option "Tools" and select "Map Drive"
    * Select the drive letter you would like to map to and in the folder, type in the following:
      \\franklin.cqu.edu.au\username[CQU Domain Username]
    * Hopefully your home directory on the cluster should now be mapped.

Alternatively, you can sftp (secure ftp) your files from your computer to the cluster.

Linux

To connect to the cluster using Secure FTP, simply start a terminal session and issue the following command sftp franklin.cqu.edu.au, in which you will then be prompted the enter you name (username) and password, which will be your CQUniversity domain username and password.

For commands on how to transfer the files, I suggest to have a look at the sftp man pages. Simply type man sftp to obtain information on how to use sftp.
