Using CLI
Usually a HPC environment will have a "login" or "gateway" node which is the entrypoint to the rest of the nodes. From outside of the HPC environment the data will need to be copied to this system (likely to shared storage) to make it available.
Linux and Mac users can use in-built SSH support to copy files.
scp mydata.zip flight@52.48.62.34:/home/flight/ # (1)!
- Copy local file
mydata.zipto/home/flight/mydata.zipon host52.48.62.34authenticating as the userflight.
Windows users can download and install the pscp command to perform the same operation (you may need your .pem key in .ppk format, see connecting from Windows with Putty):
pscp -i mykeyfile.ppk mydata.zip flight@52.48.62.34:/home/flight/ # (1)!
- Copy local file
mydata.zipto/home/flight/mydata.zipon host52.48.62.34authenticating as the userflight.
Tip
Both the scp and the pscp commands take the parameter -r to recursively copy entire directories of files to the research environment.
To retrieve files from the research environment, simply specify the location of the remote file first in the scp command, followed by the location on the local system to put the file.
