Moving Files to and from Filer

Since the Linux machines do not have filer drives mapped, we need to use alternative means to save and retrieve files from filer.

Step 1: Setup SSH Keys

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@wpi.edu"

Step 2: Send Key to CCC Servers

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub username@ccc.wpi.edu

Step 3: Setup a Folder to be Synced

mkdir ece4305_sync
Sync folder to filer. This will create a folder on filer with the same name.
rsync ece4305 username@wpi.edu:~/ece4305

Post Setup

Pull files: rsync username@wpi.edu:~/ece4305 ece4305
Backup files: rsync ece4305 username@wpi.edu:~/ece4305

Aliases to make things easy

echo "alias filer_push='rsync ece4305 username@wpi.edu:~/ece4305'">>~/.bashrc
echo "alias filer_pull='rsync username@wpi.edu:~/ece4305 ece4305'">>~/.bashrc
