This short tutorial explains how to transfer files from ECMWF to Reading University for the workshop.
Before you begin
You must have been given a training account username, beginning with the letters 'troifs' and the security password in order to log into ECMWF computers.
Transfer files from ECMWF CCA to classroom PC
OpenIFS runs on the ECMWF Cray computer, called 'cca'. This example shows how to transfer a file or several files from the training account "scratch" directory.
Before you start make sure you are in the correct local directory on the classroom PC at Reading University!
Create the ftp connection using sftp and then navigate to the correct directory:
Example sequence (replace with your training ID username!)
sftp troifs0@ecaccess.ecmwf.int Authorized access only. *************************************************************** For further information, read the ECaccess documentation at: https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/ECAC/ECaccess+Home You can also use ECaccess to load & download files from your EChome, ECscratch or ECfs directories using the ECaccess FTP server: ftp://uid@ecaccess.ecmwf.int/ Please note you must use your UID and ActivID code to login! *************************************************************** troifs0@140.105.20.128's password: Connected to ecaccess.ecmwf.int. sftp> ls ECFS ECHOME ECHOST ECJOBS ECMARS ECSCRATCH ECTMP sftp> cd ECHOST sftp> ls cca ecgate sftp> cd cca sftp> cd scratch/ectrain/troifs0/myexpt/output sftp> get mslp.grib sftp> bye
