Accessing the local filesystems (home and scratch)

Note the following (where $USER is your username/asurite):
$HOME := /home/$USER
$SCRATCH := /scratch/$USER
$DATA := /data/designation

These file systems are accessed by path. By writing data/files to your assigned home and scratch directories, the associated file systems are then being used.
