How do I transfer data between other Unix machines and MSI Unix machines?

You can either use scp or sftp or rsync to copy data directly in and out of your home directory on MSI systems. Replace resourcename with your desired MSI resource (e.g., Agate) NOTE: you will be prompted for selecting a trusted option via Duo for completing Two Factor Authentication:
scp:
scp filename [email protected]:/home/group/username/
sftp:
sftp [email protected]
sftp> ls
sftp> put filename
sftp> quit
rsync:
rsync -e ssh -avz directoryname resourcename.msi.umn.edu:/home/group/username
MSI does not currently allow remote mounting of MSI home directories via Network File System (NFS).
