Computing Housekeeping

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
