Sending data to PI via FTP
- Find an empty FTP slot on the ARSF FTP server, if there are not free slots ask someone with root to set one up with a new password:
- Hardlink the delivery using cp -rl to /users/rsg/arsf/arsf_data/ftp/arsf1 as airborne. Hardlinking rather than rsyncing / uploading via FTP saves space as we don't have multiple copies of the data.
- Log in to the FTP server and check the data are all there and accessible with the FTP login.
- Send the FTP server details in the letter to the PI, suggested text is:
The login details are as follows: user: USER password: PASSWORD address: ftp.rsg.pml.ac.uk link: ftp://USER:PASSWORD@ftp.rsg.pml.ac.uk/
