Moving Data¶

Getting data on on and off the servers can be done using SFTP or rsync.

Rsync Between Servers¶

If you need to switch which server you are running on, the fastest safe way to move your files is with rsync which can synchronize folders reliably.

Log into circe via ssh:

$ ssh user@circe.rc.pdx.edu

Then tell rsync which files you want to move:

$ rsync -v -a -e ssh user@hecate.rc.pdx.edu:/disk/scratch/FOLDER.TO.MOVE /disk/scratch/

This will clone the folder from hecate onto circe. NOTE: The files remain on the original server so please clean up those to preserve disk space.

Sometimes its easiest to just use a GUI to move files onto the research servers. Here are some decent options.
