Exons: Relevant bits of information for using the MUSC Shared Resource, the BioMolecular Computing Resource (BCR). Exon_15_Transfering Files from the VAX to the UNIX system A recommended procedure. 1) Logon to the UNIX system (CCIT can tell you your password in case you've forgotten- of course this assumes that you already have presented a valid MUSC id at the Library Systems office or at CCIT (second floor HOT) to request an account and have your account set up). 2) at the "%" prompt type "ftp lp.musc.edu" 3) When prompted, enter your VAX username and password. This part will likely be slow. This logs, you FTP-wise, onto the VAX 4) change to a directory where your files are. eg: cd [username.project1.proteins] 5) use "get filename" to copy a single file use "mget filename" to copy multiple files. The mget command allows you to get all the files which begin or end with a common set of letters eg kappa* or *.pep 6) That's about it. Mget will prompt you for each file. Mget CAN be overloaded. eg if you had 600 kappa* files, you might have to run it more than once to get them all.
