Transferring Files to the Supercomputer

Transferring with Applications

We recommend using WinSCP or FileZilla to move files onto the supercomputer

Settings for either software are as followed:

  • File Protocol - SFTP

  • Port Number - 22

  • Host Name - agave.asu.edu

  • Username - <Your ASURITE>

  • Password - <Your Password>


Transferring with Command Line

You can use scp and/or rsync

To copy a file from your local machine:

scp file <ASURITE>@agave.asu.edu:/home/<ASURITE>/targetdirectory

To copy an entire directory

scp -r directory <ASURITE>@agave.asu.edu:/home/<ASURITE>/targetdirectory

To transfer large files, or to update a small portion of a large dataset:

rsync -atr bigdir <ASURITE>@agave.asu.edu:/home/<ASURITE>/targetdirectory
