File transfer
Transfer files between a server and a local computer
On this page you will learn how to transfer files from your local computer to AI Cloud.
You can transfer files between your local computer and AI Cloud using the command line utility scp. This will only work if you call the command from your local computer and not the server.
scp some-file user@domain.aau.dk@ai-fe02.srv.aau.dk:~/some-dir
Replace user@domain.aau.dk with your AAU email address.
Here, ~ represents your user directory on AI Cloud and /some-dir a folder in your directory.
To copy files from AI Cloud to your local computer, use:
scp user@domain.aau.dk@ai-fe02.srv.aau.dk:~/some-folder/some-subfolder/some-file .
Replace user@domain.aau.dk with your AAU email address.
Here, . represents the current directory on your local computer.
