There are 2 possible ways to do this:​

​

1) SFTP or SSH Client

The easiest way is to download a free SFTP or SSH client, shell, or gui.

For Macs, Nick uses "Cyberduck" available from the Mac App Store, Sam uses "Fetch"

For PC use "WinSCP".

 

But you can search and download a program of your choosing; they all have their strengths and weaknesses

 

In your program click the “connect to”, “host”, or similar field enter:

ssrlxfs.slac.stanford.edu

 

When prompted for your user name and password use the same one that you log onto the beamline, typically b_lastname or b_group’slastname

If given the choice choose SFTP rather than FTP.

​

2 ) Command Line or Terminal

An alternate method is to use your computer’s command line or terminal: In the command line or terminal of your “home” computer go to the folder you wish to put your data in SFTP to the T drive by typing

sftp username@ssrlxfs.slac.stanford.edu

When prompted for your user name and password use the same one that you log onto at the beamline, typically b_lastname or b_group’slastname

 

 

 

 

To do this type

cd ../..

then

cd data/username/

To download your files type

mget filename

or

mget *.*

this will download all the files in the current folder, or to download a whole folder use

mget –r folder name

the –r is recursive and will download all the files in the folder the files/folders will be downloaded to whatever folder you sftp’d from on your “home” computer
