Transfer Files to/from the SSCCFrom your computerTo transfer files between your Windows computer and the SSCC, select "New File Transfer" from the "Window" menu in the SSH client. Remember: if you transfer From other ftp/web serversYou can download datasets directly to the SSCC from external ftp and web servers. wget is a command that can download files both from ftp and web servers, for example: [abc123@seldon abc123]$ wget http://www.nber.org/nberces/bbg96_87.dta [abc123@seldon abc123]$ wget ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/doc/ap.txtWith additional options wget can also download whole
directories of files recursively and download from password-protected
servers. Type in man wget at the prompt to get a full
list of options sftp is a command-line program used toconnect to ftp servers that require secure connections: [abc123@seldon abc123]$ sftp sftp> open abc123@ftp.econ.uantarctica.edu Opening connection to abc123@ftp.econ.uantarctica.edu abc123@ftp.econ.uantarctica.edu's password: sftp> help SFTP client Sftp2 Copyright (c) 1999-2002 SSH Communications Security, Finland. Type 'help <topic>', where <topic> is one of the following commands: open lopen close quit cd lcd pwd lpwd ls lls get mget put mput rm lrm mkdir lmkdir rmdir lrmdir rename lrename readlink lreadlink symlink lsymlink ascii binary auto setext getext lsroots debug verbose help The sftp secure ftp client is used to make secure file transfers over the network. The entire session is encrypted, starting with the login and including the transfer of your files. The best way to transfer your files is to first login to an SSCC host and then initiate the transfer session from there. As such, you get files from a foreign host to the SSCC host. If you want to transfer files from the SSCC host to the foreign host, then you put files to the foreign host. Note that sftp copies the files from one computer to another. It does not move them. Login with ssh to hardin.it.northwestern.edu or seldon.it.northwestern.edu. Make sure that you use your NetID password to login. You should transfer your files directly into your SSCC home directory to preserve your file paths. In the following example, I have first logged in to the SSCC system hardin.it.northwestern.edu, and then I sftp to the system on ftp.econ.uantarctica.edu: I entered my unantarctica password at the prompt. [bef@hardin bef]$ sftp abc123@ftp.econ.uantarctica.edu abc123@ftp.econ.uantarctica.edu's password:Next, I transfer the directory Demo and all of its contents from my foreign account to my SSCC account: sftp> get -p Demo demo.dat.gz | 294B | 294B/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demo.log | 4.6kB | 4.6kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demo.lst | 20kB | 20kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demo.por | 5.8kB | 5.8kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demo.por.gz | 3.0kB | 3.0kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demo.sas | 2.3kB | 2.3kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demo.sps | 111B | 111B/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demo.sps.lst | 4.2kB | 4.2kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demobase.lst.gz | 17kB | 17kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% demobase.sps | 6.6kB | 6.6kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100% sftp> quit [bef@hardin bef]$ By using the -p option in the command "get -p Demo" I preserve the creation dates and times of my files in the copies put on the SSCC disk. The directory Demo and all of its files were copied by the single sftp command. You can copy an entire directory with the sftp command sftp> get -p * Transfers of 500 MB or more will take significant time and memory, as well as disk space. Please break up large transfers by using sftp to get directory trees one at a time — do not use the "get -p *" command when you have a large transfer to make. gftp is a graphical ftp client. To start it, type in 
mozilla is a standard graphical web browser.
