Transferring data from the NMR Facility - Vanderbilt

IMPORTANT NOTE !

The following files are AUTOMATICALLY deleted without further warning:

  • All processed data present: Sundays, 3 am
  • All SER data files that are older than 30 days at that point! Sundays, 3 am
Make sure you transfer and check the data immediately after you finish the acquisition.
This document explains how to get data off the spectrometers through the firewall in the biomolecular NMR center. The spectrometer computers were protected by a firewall after a break in over the holidays in 2000. Although the data transfer is slightly less convenient, it secures the systems and keeps the spectrometers running.

This information pertains to the following spectrometers in the Biomolecular NMR Facility:

  • 502 (av502)
  • 601 (av601)
  • 602 (av602)
  • 800 (av800)
  • 900 (av900)

Allowed machines...

The firewall allows you to connect via SSH protocols (ssh, scp, slogin) that originate from one of the following machines:

  • idefix.structbio.vanderbilt.edu (160.129.138.224)
  • falcon.structbio.vanderbilt.edu (129.59.120.43)
  • specht.structbio.vanderbilt.edu (129.59.120.117)
  • gungho.structbio.vanderbilt.edu (160.129.138.165)
  • polytope.structbio.vanderbilt.edu (160.129.138.204)

What you need to do - Examples

Login on one of the above designated computers and choose one of the following data mechanisms to transfer an entire nmr data directory (e.g "myexpt" for user "joedoe"):
  1. On a local CSB computer, transfer the myexpt dataset form the 502 into the current directory of the CSB filesystem:

    scp -rp joedoe@av502:/av502/joedoe/data/myexpt  ./

    OR:

  2. Login to NMR spectrometer:

    ssh joedoe@av502
    Change the directory to your nmr data by typing   "u"
    (this assumes your using the default CSB path with "/home/username")
    cp -rp myexp /home/joedoe/"nmrdirectory"/

  3. On the NMR spectrometer:

    cp -rp myexp /home/joedoe/"nmrdirectory"/
