Getting your data

The beamline computers are not internet connected. You have three options for getting data from them:

USB stick

Never fails, no setup, fastest transfer speed. Inconvenient if you have to do it repeatedly. There is a high speed 440MB/s beamline USB stick available for this purpose.

SFTP

If you are connected to the internal MAX IV wifi network, or if you are remote-connected via VPN, you can access your data via SSH FTP. This assumes that you have been saving your data to the network drive - you cannot access the local computer disks remotely.

SSHFS (recommended for mac/linux users)

To mount a remote folder to a local folder on your machine:

(linux) sshfs [DUO USERNAME]@offline-fe1:/data/visitors/bloch/[your unique folder path] ~/[LOCAL FOLDER]

(mac) sshfs [DUO USERNAME]@offline-fe1:/data/visitors/bloch/[your unique folder path] [LOCAL FOLDER] -o defer_permissions

To force an unmount if it seems unwilling:

(linux) fusermount -u -z ~/[LOCAL FOLDER]

(mac) umount ./[LOCAL FOLDER]

Setting up SSHFS on a mac will require installation of OSXFuse and SSHFS, see here.

Graphical clients

MacOS: Our recommended graphical client is FileZilla. Enter the host as sftp.maxiv.lu.se, give your DUO username and password, and use port 22. Press Quickconnect. Once connected you will be in your home directory on the remote server. Change the remote site to :/gpfs/offline1/visitors/bloch/[your unique folder path]. Now you can copy files over to your local computer.

Windows: Our recommended graphical client is WinSCP. Configure a new session with host name sftp.maxiv.lu.se, user name/password for your DUO account and port number 22. Under ‘Advanced’ you can change the remote directory to /data/visitors/bloch/[your unique folder path]. Save these settings (save button on the login window) before connecting with the ‘login’ button.
