File transfer to and from Cray-Cyber machines

Now, since Monday 3rd of February 2003 it's possible to transfer files from and to computers of the Cray-Cyber Project

Important notice:
Please do not transfer files from your local computer to login.cray-cyber.org on saturdays as the performance of the interactive sessions would suffer from it.

How it works:
You have to relay through login.cray-cyber.org for every file. Direct connections forwarded through the firewall to the internal machines are not possible for security and practical reasons.
So - first get your file to login.cray-cyber.org - this can either be done using:
    - SCP (Secure CoPy (preferred)) (please see http://www.freessh.org for a client matching your operating system
    - FTP (vintage, insecure FTP)
When using FTP, please use passive mode (let the Cray-Cyber server initiate the data connection) - this is all somewhat tricky and difficult - for easier access, just use SCP
Log on using your normal username and password.
Your files are now stored on the local HDD of login.cray-cyber.org.
Now open a shell session to an internal machine and get your file using the FTP command of the vintage computer. login.cray-cyber.org is internally called server, so you have to "ftp server"
Or, if the computer has its home mounted via NFS (such as the Cray Y-MP EL), the file will "just be there" in your home directory automatically

File transfer from/to the Cyber 960
If you have files you want to transfer from or to the Cyber, the only possible way is relaying over the server.
To put a file on the Cyber, you first need to upload it to the server via either ftp or scp (preferred). Then you connect to the Cray-YMP EL from the Cyber Shell:

/ftp
WELCOME TO THE NOS CLIENT FTP (VERSION  1.0 , PSR LEVEL  803 ).
  
--INFORMATIVE--  CONNECTING TO TCP/IP NETWORK.
--INFORMATIVE--  CONNECTED TO TCP/IP NETWORK.
  
--WARNING--  PROLOG FILE NOT FOUND OR BUSY.
  
FTP/open yel
User? guest
Password? guest
FTP/dir
[...]
FTP/end
The files on the server are transparent to the Cray, so you can see the files you just uploaded to the server from the Cray and thus from the FTP connection from the Cyber.
If you want to download a file from the Cyber you first have to put it to the Cray and then download it to your local machine by either ftp or scp (preferred).
