A `vsftpd` service is available on the login nodes, providing high-speed transfers. Choose the server based on your **speed vs. encryption** needs:
* **`login001.merlin7.psi.ch`:** Encrypted control & data channels.
**Use if your data is sensitive**. **Slower**, but secure.
* **service03.merlin7.psi.ch`: Encrypted control channel only.
* **`service03.merlin7.psi.ch`**: Encrypted control channel only.
Use if your data can be transferred unencrypted. **Fastest** method.

### Loading Merlin7 ANSYS
For loading the Merlin7 ANSYS software, one needs to run Pmodules v1.1.22 or newer, and then use a specific repository
(called **`merlin`**) which is **only available from the Merlin7 cluster**:
```bash
module purge
module load Pmodules/1.1.22
module use merlin
module use unstable
module use /etc/cscs-modules/
module load cray
module use unstable # Optional
module search ANSYS
# Load the proper ANSYS version, in example for 2022R2
module load ANSYS/2022R2
module load ANSYS/2025R2
```
Once `merlin` is invoked, it will disable central ANSYS installations with the same version, which will be replaced
by the local ones in Merlin. Releases from the central Pmodules repository which have not a local installation will remain
visible. For each ANSYS release, one can identify where it is installed by searching ANSYS in PModules with the `--verbose`
option. This will show the location of the different ANSYS releases as follows:
* For ANSYS releases installed in the central repositories, the path starts with `/opt/psi`
* For ANSYS releases installed in the Merlin7 repository (and/or overwritting the central ones), the path starts with `/data/software/pmodules`
**We strongly recommend only using ANSYS/2022R2 or superior**.
**We strongly recommend only using ANSYS/2024R2 or superior**.
