Server mounting

This section clarifies how to transfer files to/from the server. Periodical storage of the important work files/directories is suggested. Transfer from/to the server in a very short period of time can make also the workflow faster. Server mounting is a way to mount the external file system to the local computer.

On Windows:

Install the software WinSCP.

Save the configuration on Desktop.

On Linux:

Type the following commands to copy all the user folder.

   sudo yum install sshfs

   mkdir ~/Server1

   sshfs user@iclabsrv1:/home/user ~/Server1

Automatic SSH authentification:

on your workstation:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 (type enter several times, no options)

ssh-copy-id user@iclabsrv1.epfl.ch
