- Download and install an ssh/sftp client. There are many choices, but I recommend FileZilla – you want the client, not the server.
- Open your sftp client and connect to desired instrument computer.
- The settings in various programs might be called different things, but the following is what you need:
- Host or Host Name **note these are temporary addresses due to the facility relocation**:
- 400 – 10.173.156.254
- 500 – 10.173.156.255
- 600 – 10.173.156.253
- Protocol: sftp or ssh; if you have to manually specify a port, it is port 22.
- Username/Password:
- 400 – use the icon user account and password (contact me if you are unsure).
- 500/600 – use your user account and password you use to login to the computer (note it is your username, NOT your actual name nor your email address).
- When you login it should automatically start you in your home folder.
- Find your data in:
- 400 – /NMR Data/$yourusername/
- 500/600 – /NMR Data/
- Now it is your basic file transfer window. One side is the local computer and the other is the instrument computer; move/copy as desired.
- Notes:
- It can be useful to hide all the various hidden and temporary files/folders. In FileZilla click View, Filename filters, check Useless Explorer files, Temporary and backup files, and Configuration files on both sides, click OK.
- No more flash drives! Now that the computers are networked, flash drives are unnecessary and pose a needless security threat to the instruments.
- If you lab/group has a networked data server for storing/backing up experimental data, let me know and I can setup an automatic nightly transfer.
