Transferring Files between Oscar and Campus File Storage (Replicated and Non-Replicated)
You may use either Globus (recommended) or smbclient to transfer data between Oscar and Campus File Storage.
1) Log into Oscar:
ssh ssh.ccv.brown.edu
2) Start a screen session. This will allow you to reattach to your terminal window if you disconnect.
screen
3) To use Oscar's high-speed connection to Campus File Storage - Replicated:
smbclient "//smb.isi.ccv.brown.edu/SHARE_NAME" -D DIRECTORY_NAME -U "ad\BROWN_ID" -m SMB3
Similarly to access Campus File Storage - Non-Replicated ( LRS: Locally Redundant Share)
smbclient "//smblrs.ccv.brown.edu/Research" -D DIRECTORY_NAME -U "ad\BROWN_ID" -m SMB3
Replace SHARE_NAME, DIRECTORY_NAME, and BROWN_ID. DIRECTORY_NAME is an optional parameter. The password required is your Brown password.
