== Copying data from the WBIC to the Linux machines ==

See: http://www.cae.wisc.edu/site/public/?title=linux-sftp

=== To get individual files ===

From a unix shell on the CBU system:

{{{
sftp yourwbicusername@gate1.wbic.cam.ac.uk
}}}

From there you can `ls`, get help with `?` and copy files with:

{{{
> get a_wbic_file
}}}

and get lots of files with:

{{{
get a_wbic_directory/*
}}}

=== To get directories etc ===

Use scp.  For example:

{{{
scp -r yourwbicusername@gate1.wbic.cam.ac.uk:my_directory .
}}}

will copy the wbic directory `my_directory` and all files below to your current working directory (`.`)

== And delete the files you've fetched ==

Use ssh:
{{{
ssh yourwbicusername@gate1.wbic.cam.ac.uk
rm -rf my_directory
}}}
