Transferring Files
You must can use SCP (secure copy protocol) to transfer data and other program files between your local machine and Free TierInsomnia. Unix/Linux and Cygwin users can use the scp command, Windows users can use WinSCP, and Mac users can use Fugu. SCP from the built-in Terminal just like Linux, or the free (for Education) program, Fetch.
Rsync is available too, though here we will cover scp.
For large file transfers we recommend the use of Globus, documented below.
Please use the transfer interface habaxfer.rcs.columbia.edu when transferring files. The transfer nodes have faster network connections and using them will reduce the load on the submit nodes where your login sessions are.
For example, this This is how you would transfer "MyDataFile" to your home directory on the cluster using scp from the a Mac or Linux command line.

$ scp MyDataFile <UNI>@habaxfer<UNI>@insomnia.rcs.columbia.edu:<DESTINATION_PATH>~/ |
Please keep in mind that if MyDataFile already exists in the destination directory, it will be overwritten. If you specify no path after the colon, the file will be copied to your home directory.
