Linux Pools

Remote Connection

The SGI drives can also be accessed from home. This small How-To shows a simple way with the SCP or SFTP protocol, which guarantees practically tap-proof data transfer.

The scp protocol is of course also available under Linux. One way to use it is simply from the command line, similar to the cp command:
    scp <from> <to>
With <from> and <to> you can add the usual path names at the beginning:
    <username>@<computer name>:<path name>
The colon between the computer name and path name is important!

Two examples:

   scp something.txt xy3@login.informatik.uni-ulm.de:
copies the file to the target machine, (password is requested, a login happens in the background), in the home directory of xy3.
    scp -r ms67@login.informatik.uni-ulm.de:/home/ms67/Desktop/
copies desktop, because of -r the whole tree, to the local machine.
