Fileserver

Every user on the workstation has an own working directory where files can be stored. There is no personal storage limit except the harddrive space. It should not used for a general backup. Appropriate uses would be the storage and backup of large simulation datasets or finished projects for archiving. For running projects a remote git repository should be used instead.

Access your files remotely

To access the files of your simulation or to copy your personal backups to the harddrive you can connect to the workstation via ssh and access the files.

Linux

From Ubuntu, you can easily transfer files from and to the workstation by setting up a network folder (using ssh). Just open a file browser window and click on ** File | Connect to Server**. A window will come up:

Server Details

Server: 162.38.184.118 Port: 22

Type: SSH

Folder: /

User Details

User name: *********

Password: *********

Clicking on Connect should show you a file browser window with the content of your home directory on the workstation.

Windows & Mac

From Windows you always will need to use a client with an own user interface installed on your computer, because the Windows explorer does not support ssh connections. Filezilla is very good for that. It also allows to link to the private key on your hard-drive to make the login passwordless (a requirement for the workstation, since password logins were turned off).
