== How to Transfer Files ==

A safe way to transfer files to and from the cluster to a personal computer is to use the [http://linux.die.net/man/1/scp scp] (Secure Copy) command.

The basic form of scp is

*Transferring to the cluster
<pre>
scp /path/to/local/file.txt username@stats.phys.uconn.edu:/path/to/new/remote/location/
</pre>

*Transferring from the cluster
<pre>
scp username@stats.phys.uconn.edu:/path/to/remote/file.txt /path/to/new/local/location/
</pre>

== For Windows Users ==

For Windows users it may be useful to download the program [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin]. This is a Windows version of a terminal that has the capability to ssh and scp. Using this program scp will look like the following

*Transferring to the cluster
<pre>
scp /cygdrive/c/Users/<username>/My\ Documents/path/to/file.txt username@stats.phys.uconn.edu:/path/to/remote/location
</pre>

*Transferring from the cluster
<pre>
scp username@stats.phys.uconn.edu:/path/to/remote/file.txt /cygdrive/c/User/<username>/My\ Documents/path/to/local/location
</pre>

 Some users prefer to use a program with a graphical user interface (GUI) instead of the commandline. <b>Use these at your own risk</b>. In the past a student tried using such a program and lost all of the files being transferred.
