== How to Transfer Files ==
A safe way to transfer files to and from the cluster to a personal computer is to use the [http://linux.die.net/man/1/scp scp] (Secure Copy) command.
The basic form of scp is
*Transferring to the cluster
<pre>
scp /path/to/local/file.txt username@stats.phys.uconn.edu:/path/to/new/remote/location/
</pre>
*Transferring from the cluster
<pre>
scp username@stats.phys.uconn.edu:/path/to/remote/file.txt /path/to/new/local/location/
</pre>
== For Windows Users ==
For Windows users it may be useful to download the program [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin]. This is a Windows version of a terminal that has the capability to ssh and scp. Using this program scp will look like the following
*Transferring to the cluster
<pre>
scp /cygdrive/c/Users/<username>/My\ Documents/path/to/file.txt username@stats.phys.uconn.edu:/path/to/remote/location
</pre>
*Transferring from the cluster
<pre>
scp username@stats.phys.uconn.edu:/path/to/remote/file.txt /cygdrive/c/User/<username>/My\ Documents/path/to/local/location
</pre>
