Your cluster6.uit.tufts.edu Tufts utln and password is required for normal access to these nodes.
The login node functions in the same fashion as the old cluster, cluster6.uit.tufts.edu. This includes compiling, slurm job submissions, editing, etc. However the need to transfer data into or out of the cluster is now separated from the login node. A second node, xfer.cluster.tufts.edu, is provided for file transfers. This insures a better quality of service to login node users and minimizes storage related logistics. Access to xfer.cluster.tufts.edu is via scp, sftp, rsync, and any scp based desktop file transfer programs such as WinScp, Filezilla, etc. will work as well. Also one may ssh into the transfer node for initiating transfers as needed from either the headnode, login.cluster.tufts.edu, or desktop/laptop. Node xfer.cluster.tufts.edu is a file transfer only service and not another headnode. Access to normal headnode/login node functions such as slurm, compilers, etc. is unavailable on xfer.cluster.tufts.edu.
