File transfer on UNIX-derived OS (Linux, MacOSX etc)

An example of connecting to our FTP server from UNIX-derived OS is shown below. In this example, installation of SFTP and SCP is done. If this does not work, please consult the administrator of your system.

 

Connecting procedure (sftp)

Connect to the FTP server using sftp.
Next is an example of connecting with user a 61234

 

1. Type the following command:

% sftp a61234@ftp.hpc.cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp

 

2. Type "yes" when you first connect to the ftp server and the following message appears:

The authenticity of host 'login.hpc.cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp (133.1.65.34)' cannot be established, but the keys of different types are already known for this host.
The RSA key fingerprint is 19:14:7f:28:54:39:16:9a:99:d0:db:93:d6:ff:f3:13.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Warning: Permanently adding 'login.hpc.cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp,133.1.65.34' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

 

3.Type your password:

a61234@ftp.hpc.cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp's password:  XXXXXXXX

(Typed password is not displayed)

 

4.As in the usual FTP, the get and put commands can be used for file transfer.

 

Next is an example of the file sample.f, which is transferred to the home directory of our large-scale computer systems.

sftp> put sample.f
Uploading sample.f to /sc/cmc/home/a61234/sample.f

 

Connecting procedure (scp case)

In this case, you need to know the name of file and directory on the server in advance.
 

1.Type the following command.

 

+ If you want to transfer the file sample.f onto the current directory on your local PC to the home directory of our systems:

% scp sample.f a61234@ftp.hpc.cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp:

+ If you want to transfer the file sample.c into the abc directory under your home directory on our large-scale computer system to sample2.c in the current directory on your local PC:

% scp a61234@ftp.hpc.cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp:abc/sample.c sample2.c

* You can transfer multiple files simultaneously and recursively transfer files per-directory For detail, please use "man scp".
 

2. Type "yes" when you first connect to the ftp server and the following message will appear:
