Moving Data To and From the Cluster

In order to move your files from your regular CIM home directory to the beowulf cluster, you must use scp. For example, to move file.dat from /home/callisto/mcrcim to the cluster (where the new home directory is /home/beowulf/joe), we would issue the following command:

joe@athena: bash$ scp file.dat gil:

To move the file back after computation has completed, use:

joe@gil: bash$ scp file.dat athena:~/results/results.dat

The data partitions on the cluster are not backed up, so please be sure to move your data back to your home directories at CIM immediately after your computations have completed.
