The access to the machines in the Cray-Cyber network became more and more comfortable during the time by providing the following features (you should probably inform you about them for using the services efficiently)

Documentation:
During the time, we wrote some documentation for efficient use of our machines.
For example:
- Short guide to vector programming/parallelization
- Short form NOS commands
- Short usage guide for NOS systems
- Short usage guide for UNICOS systems
- EP/IX software porting guide

Mailing lists:
When becoming a Cray-Cyber user, you are automatically subscribed to the very low-volume mailing list "Announce".
There is an additional "Users" list for discussions regarding Cray-Cyber to which you can voluntarily subscribe.

Session management:
In order to comfortably manage your sessions on our machines, we enabled the usage of the GNU screen tool for all non-guest interactive sessions.
If you have processes running which take some time and produce interactive output you may want to detach it and attach it again lateron.

File transfer:
You may want to compile your own source projects on one of our machines without having to write all the code again (or copy it using copy-and-paste), or you may want to copy results of some calculations to your local computer.
That's why we now have the possibility to transfer files to the Cray-Cyber network by either using FTP (we strongly discourage from using it) or by using SCP (Secure CoPy - recommended).
