Copying Files from SGI Indy workstation to the SUN workstation
login as user (Sun workstation)
open a terminal and type: rsh eclipse1 (to connect to the SGI)
su – username (become the user you want to get files from)
cd files
cd data
ls
mkdir directory_name (temporary directory to copy the files into)
cp file_name directory_name (copy the file or files you want into the temporary directory)
to copy a group of files (e.g. files beginning with “gs” in the filename), type: cp gs* directory_name
open another terminal window (on the Sun)
type cd /sgi_backup
copy /usr/people/username/files/data directory_name (“copy” is a script that will grab the remote SGI machine’s temporary directory that you just created and put a copy of it into the current working directory on the Sun)
ls – l directory_name (lists files to be sure that the files copied from the SGI are all there)
burn cd of copied files – see other instruction sheet optional – go back to the eclipse window and remove the temporary directory (copy of files):
to remove temporary files, type rm -rf ./directory_name (be very careful with this command: must have ./ at beginning of directory_name or you could accidentally erase all of your files!)
use the same command as in step 15 to remove the copy of the temporary directory stored on the Sun (that you used to burn the CD)
