In order to scp from an outside machine to an inside machine, our gateway machines vorlon or shadow must be used. To get to the end machine, 2 hops are required. This command utilizes scp's built in funcitons to allow a single command for putting a file from machine a -> gateway -> machine b securely:
From Machine A:
scp -Cp -o "ProxyCommand ssh username@vorlon.eas.gatech.edu nc machineb.xxxx.gatech.edu 22" c.txt username@machineb.xxxxx.gatech.edu:c.txt Please note that this is all one line, and you should substitute your username in both places, even though they may be the same. c.txt is the example file name.
Using SFTP or WinSCP is the best way to transfer a large file outside of the EAS department. Whoever is receiving the file must be set up to do so. The EASISG will not allow clients outside of the department to connect to our servers to retrieve files. They must be "put" from EAS to the client.
Faculty and staff are allowed to have their machines as a backup client within the Legato System. Nevertheless, there is a space limitation to have up to 10GB storage space per person. For this reason the ISG encourages the backup of critical files and email only. For more information about how to join this system, please click here.
Students are encouraged to backup your important data by using alternative methods such as CD-RW or backup utilities provided on your different systems.
