Transferring Files to and from the Supercomputer
Transferring with Globus
The recommended way to transfer data is with an application called Globus. It is a highly robust tool that can handle even the largest data transfers. Find out more about using Globus with Research Computing resources.
Transferring with Applications
There are also desktop applications for Windows and MacOS users. These applications are WinSCP and Cyberduck, respectively.
Settings for either software are as followed:
File Protocol - SFTP
Port Number - 22
Host Name - sol.asu.edu (or agave.asu.edu)
Username - <Your ASURITE>
Password - <Your Password>
Transferring with Command Line
You can use scp and/or rsync from the Command Line on Unix based systems to transfer files from your device to Sol. Unix based systems include Linux devices, Windows Subsystem for Linux, and the MacOS Terminal application. Run these commands on your device, not Sol.
To copy a file:
scp file <ASURITE>@sol.asu.edu:/home/<ASURITE>/containingdirectory/To copy an entire directory:
scp -r srcdir <ASURITE>@sol.asu.edu:/home/<ASURITE>/destdirTo transfer larger files, or to update a small portion of a large dataset:
rsync -atr srcdir <ASURITE>@sol.asu.edu:/home/<ASURITE>/destdirIf your command causes too much load on the login node, you will be asked to cancel the command and use Globus instead.
