How do I share files with project members?
MSI offers the directory /projects/standard/projectname/shared in the project space for collaboration between group members.
To allow all group members to read/write a specific directory whoever currently owns the files must copy the files to the shared space and run this command in the Linux prompt.
chmod -R g+rwx /projects/standard/projectname/shared/filestoshare
If you want all new files you create/copy over to be group read/writable, put this line in your .bashrc:
umask 007
How do I share files with members of other projects?
/scratch.global is a shared storage space accessible by all MSI users. Data stored in /scratch.global has a lifespan of 30 days, after which it is automatically removed. This makes the space ideal for temporary files, such as those you might wish to share with MSI members outside your project. To access /scratch.global with the 'cd' command:
cd /scratch.global
or use the global identifier:
cd $SCRATCH
Please note that you may need to change the permissions on files and directories added to /scratch.global to allow others to access them.
