SFTP configuration parameters

You can use any program that understands the SFTP protocol to remotely download your experiment data. These are the connection parameters:

Host: userdata.cells.es
Port: 443
Username: <proposal account>       (i.e: u2013100654
Password: <proposal password>     (must be changed upon first arriving at Alba to do the experiment)
Directory: /DATA                              (points to /beamlines/blNN/projects/cycleNNNN/publicname/DATA)

 

Dolphin (KDE file browser)

The server address should be the following: sftp://yourusername@userdata.cells.es:443/DATA/

 Use the following parameters:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_1

 On the first connection, you should accept the warning about the unknown host key:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_2

 

Nautilus (Ubuntu/GNOME file browser)

The server address should be the following: sftp://yourusername@userdata.cells.es:443/

First use the Connect to Server option on the lower-left side:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_3

Then, configure the following address:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_4

On the first connection, you should accept the warning about the unknown host key:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_5

After a successful authentication, you can browse the remote files:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_6

 

FileZilla

The host address should be the following: sftp://userdata.cells.es, with port 443 and your username and password.

 Use the following parameters:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_7

On the first connection, you should accept the warning about the unknown host key:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_8

 

Command-line SFTP

In any Linux distribution, you can use the sftp command to download the files from the command-line. Just remember to set the -oPort=443 option to change the default port number:

IM_RemoteAccess_Linux_9

 

However, bear in mind that the option -r that is used to recursively download subfolders was only added in openSSH 5.4 (2010), so it won't work for older versions.
