SSH
Using ssh directly from the command line is more technical. If you have no experience using the terminal but want to learn/try I recommend the guide written by HPC2N. You can connect using the following command
ssh <username>@kebnekaise.hpc2n.umu.se
which prompts you to enter your password.
Once connected, you are on a user node in HPC2N and you can run commands as you normally do in a Linux terminal.
Uploading data
A suitable command to upload files would be using rsync
rsync -avzP <local-folder> \
<hpc2n-username>@kebnekaise.hpc2n.umu.se:/proj/CFL_nobackup/<proj-id>/
replacing the variables in <> with appropriate values.
Storage paths
Once the storage application has been accepted, you should have a project folder allocated on HPC2N. The absolute path should be
/proj/CFL_nobackup/<proj-id>/
Replace <proj-id> with the project ID you can find on SUPR under your Projects and follows the structure hpc2nstorYYYY-XXX where YYYY is the year of application. In this folder you will find two other folders, public and private, where you can store your data. As the names indicate, private is a folder that is only accessible to users associated with the storage project. The folder public is accessible to the project users, but also other users of CFL. This means that you can share data with other researchers without explicitly handing data over to other users.
To access these storage folders we recommend two methods; one using a graphical interface and one using terminal commands.
Downloading results
Accessing files is the same as uploading files, either using FileZilla or SSH by terminal.
The output files are stored in the output folder in the storage path shown above. In this folder there is a folder for each job submission ID, which contains the output from the program.
