Getting ressources on Jura

Accessing the infrastructure from UNIL

  • Any user is expected to take a short training to get familiar with the environment, the do’s and dont’s
  • Once the demand is approved, you will receive a mail with a QR-Code like

ATTENTION PROPER LOG OUT

  • CTRL+ALT+SHIFT to display guacamole menu

  • Or session logout

Transferring data in

  • Transfer your data to the Jump Host

sib-1-24:~ someuser$ sftp someuser@jura.dcsr.unil.ch Password: Verification code: Connected to someuser@jura.dcsr.unil.ch. sftp> dir data  sftp> cd data sftp> dir sftp> put AVeryImportantFile.tgz Uploading AVeryImportantFile.tgz to /data/AVeryImportantFile.tgz AVeryImportantFile.tgz

  • The verification code of the Google Authenticator or FreeOTP is required
  • Transfer your data from the Jump Host

    [someuser@frt ~]$ sftp jura.dcsr.unil.ch

    Password:

    Verification code:

    Connected to jura.dcsr.unil.ch.

    sftp> cd data

    sftp> dir

    AVeryImportantFile.tgz 

    sftp> get AVeryImportantFile.tgz

    Fetching /data/AVeryImportantFile.tgz to AVeryImportantFile.tgz

    /data/AVeryImportantFile.tgz

  • To repeatedly transfer large files from reputable external sources a direct access can be granted.

  • The verification code of the Google Authenticator or FreeOTP is required but if you have many files to transfer we can set up an automated system
