Training/Transferring Data
Contents
Small to medium amounts of data
This can be carried out using a number of FTP styled packages such as sftp, scp, rsync, wget and Filezilla to name a few. Filezilla can be downloaded as a Windows application and maybe more suitable for people who prefer a Windows environment, rather than command line.
Large to huge amount of data (100GB +)
To avoid excessive network congestion and the long period of time to transfer such data please contact the helpdesk on helpdesk@hull.ac.uk for further details. This may typically involve connecting an USB data drive directly to VIPER to copy the data quickly into your user area.
Universal
The following can only be performed on Windows after installing MobaXterm or PuTTY.
The example user is user1; you will need to enter your own username here:
| From your local computer to Viper |
| scp myfile user1@viper.hull.ac.uk:myfile |
| rsync -av my-directory viper.hull.ac.uk:/data/users/YourID |
| From Viper to your local Computer |
| scp user1@viper.hull.ac.uk:bio/YourUCInetID/hpc-file |
| rsync -av viper.hull.ac.uk:/data/users/YourID/mydatadirectory |
