If I am using command line ssh and scp, how do I transfer files back and forth?
For example...
To copy a file up to the cluster into your home dir(user John Doe):
> scp your_file.xyz jdoe02@cluster6.uit.tufts.edu:/cluster/home/j/d/jdoe02/
To copy a file down to your PC or laptop into your current dir:
> scp jdoe02@cluster6.uit.tufts.edu:/cluster/home/j/d/jdoe02/your_file.txt .
Note the period on the end.
...
Open an xterm window and use ssh.
> ssh -Y -C cluster6login001.uitcluster.tufts.edu
Provide your Tufts username and password (same as your email).
...
Open a local shell window or xterm and connect with:
> ssh -Y cluster6login001.uitcluster.tufts.edu
Provide your username and password (same as your email).

For ssh and X11 needs there is a linux virtual(program) running on lab PCs. Just login to one of the Blake systems and click on the linux icon on the desktop. It automatically boots into guest mode. Once established a terminal window should start up automatically. From there you can login to the cluster with ssh:
ssh -Y -C UTLN@cluster6UTLN@login001.uitcluster.tufts.edu
Make sure x11 over ssh works by typing xlogo at the cluster shell prompt.
This should bring up a small window with an X inside of it.

If you have any questions on getting to the cluster from Blake Lab PCs or your own laptop/desktop, contact Shawn Doughty via email at: staff@asunix.tuftscluster-support@tufts.edu
Arrangements can be made to obtain a linux virtual solution for X11 support.

It is likely that your IP address is blocked by the cluster. It may be that you have the wrong password. Go to Tufts Tools to change it. Otherwise you may have to visit the following site to find out what your remote IP address is so that we can unblock it. There are many reasons why this might be the case. Copy the IP addresses displayed there and send it back to us via the cluster support email venue, cluster-support@tufts.edu with an explanation.
