## Transferring Data from the PSI Network to/from Merlin6
|
|
|
|
### Rsync
|
|
|
|
Rsync is the preferred method to transfer data from Linux/MacOS. It allows
|
|
transfers to be easily resumed if they get interrupted. The general syntax is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rsync -avAHXS <src> <dst>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, to transfer files from your local computer to a merlin project
|
|
directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rsync -avAHXS ~/localdata user@merlin-l-01.psi.ch:/data/project/general/myproject/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can resume interrupted transfers by simply rerunning the command. Previously
|
|
transferred files will be skipped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### WinSCP
|
|
|
|
The WinSCP tool can be used for remote file transfer on Windows. It is available
|
|
from the Software Kiosk on PSI machines. Add `merlin-l-01.psi.ch` as a host and
|
|
connect with your PSI credentials. You can then drag-and-drop files between your
|
|
local computer and merlin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Transferring Data to/from outside PSI
|
|
|
|
Merlin6 is only accessible from within the PSI network. To connect from outside you can use
|
|
|
|
- [VPN](https://www.psi.ch/en/computing/vpn) ([alternate instructions](https://intranet.psi.ch/BIO/ComputingVPN))
|
|
- [SSH hop](https://www.psi.ch/en/computing/ssh-hop)
|
|
- [No Machine](nomachine.md)
