Copying Data

This topic explains how you can copy data to and from the cluster.

Using SMB

Connect to

\\student-files.inf.ethz.ch

on Windows (instructions are here) or

smb://student-files.inf.ethz.ch

on macOS (instructions are here).

You will see the following shares:

  • A share with your login as name which is your home directory at /home/{your login}.
  • courses which is for the directory /cluster/courses.
  • work which is for /work.

Using SCP or SFTP

You can connect to

student-cluster.inf.ethz.ch

or the specific hosts student-cluster1.inf.ethz.ch and student-cluster2.inf.ethz.ch using either SCP or SFTP.

  • On Linux you can use the plain scp command. Nautilus, which comes with the Gnome desktop, also allows you to connect via SFTP.

  • On macOS you can also use scp in a terminal or FileZilla.
