SQUID has a different file system from OCTOPUS. On this page, we introduce how to transfer data between these systems.
 

How to File Transfer betweeen same accounts

    If you have the same account on SQUID and OCTOPUS, please adopt this way. You can access from SQUID login server to a part of OCTOPUS file system with NFS. In the case, please note that file pass differs by depending on file systems.

    File path
    OCTOPUS: home area /octfs/home/
    OCTOPUS: work area /octfs/work/

    * SQUID caliculation node can not access to /octfs/work, /octfs/ext. You can only transfer any file on SQUID login server.

     
    How to File Transfer is the following. the userID of SQUID is "a61234".
    - OCTOPUS to SQUID (on SQUID)

      If you want to transfer the file "sample.f" onto the home directory on OCTOPUS to the home directory on SQUID:

      % cp /octfs/home/a61234/abc/sample.c ~

    - SQUID to OCTOPUS (on OCTOPUS)

      If you want to transfer the file "sample2.f" onto the home directory on SQUID to the home/abc/ directory on OCTOPUS:

      % cp /sqfs/home/a61234/abc/sample.c ~

     

How to File Transfer between defferent accounts

      + If you want to transfer the file "sample2.f" onto the home directory on OCTOPUS to the home/abc/ directory on SQUID:

    % scp a61234@octopus.hpc.cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp:~/sample2.c ~/
