Transferring files to/from the Agave supercomputer
This article describes transferring files between the ASU HPC supercomputer and your personal computer (laptop or desktop)
Open On Demand (Not OS Specific)
This method should work regardless of the Operating system since it uses HTML5 in a web browser.
Connect to the ASU Cisco VPN, then use a web browser to go to https://login.rc.asu.edu
Click on the “All Apps” box at the top right
Click on “home” or scratch as needed (please keep in mind scratch should be used only for temporary storage)
Click “upload” at the top right
Select the file to upload in the screen that comes up.
The status of your upload will be shown at the top of the file list. Browsing away in that tab or disconnecting from the VPN will interrupt your upload. If you need to keep using your browser please open a new tab and leave the upload tab in the background.
Windows
Download and install the Filezilla client from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
Filezilla will provide three options to download.
You only need the “plain” version which is ad supported while running
The other two versions require payment but do not provide any functionality that you will need
The Filezilla installer will offer to install MacAffee
This is optional and not endorsed by the RC team
In order to transfer files to Agave you will need to be connected to the campus Cisco VPN
Once Filezilla is open at the top enter your ASURITE and password in the “Username” and “Password” fields
For host enter
agave.asu.eduFor port enter “22”
When this window pops up, click the box to always trust this host, then OK
You should now be connected, the systems on your computer are on the left, and the files on Agave are on the right. You can simply click and drag files, right click to make new folders etc
