On the classroom PC, make sure you download any files to the 'data_local' directory in metview/oifs2019. This directory 'data_local' should ideally be a link to a directory on /scratch as the filespace quota is quite small in the user home directory. |
Transfer files from ECMWF CCA to classroom PC
We'll assume that you have some files scratch/ob01/2015110100/mmeans/, for example, oif_ob01_u_20151101_00.grib that you want to transfer from OpenIFS runs on the ECMWF Cray computer, host 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 First, we'll create the ftp connection using sftp and then navigate to the correct directory:
