# Urblauna access and data transfer

### Data Transfer

An SFTP server allows you to import and export data.

#### From Laptop to Urblauna

Here is the procedure to transfer a file, say mydata.txt, from your Laptop to Urblauna.

From your Laptop:

`cd path_to_my_data`

`sftp <username>@u-sftp.dcsr.unil.ch`

You will be prompted for your password and the two factor authentication code as for an SSH connection to Urblauna.

`sftp> put mydata.txt`

`sftp> exit`

Your file "mydata.txt" will be in /scratch/username/.

Data is copied to/from your scratch directory ( /scratch/username ) and once there it should be moved to the appropriate storage space such as /data or /archive - please remember that the scratch space is automatically cleaned up.

#### From Urblauna to Laptop

Here is the procedure to transfer a file, say mydata.txt, from Urblauna to your Laptop.

You will be prompted for your password and the two factor authentication code as for an SSH connection to Urblauna.

`sftp> get mydata.txt`

`sftp> exit`

Your file "mydata.txt" will be in your current working directory.
