===New [[OpenLAB]] Desktop===
We have added a new mac, Koala, to the desktops available in AVW 4462. Koala is replacing our old OpenLAB mac, Grizzly, and runs Mac OS X 10.5.

===[[OpenLAB]] [[SSH]] Key Change===
We have changed opensub01's SSH keys to match those of opensub00. This allows for openlab.umiacs.umd.edu round robin to work appropriately.

The new RSA Fingerprint of the key to verify is,

79:b3:dc:99:d8:ee:56:b8:51:63:bc:10:aa:4e:db:b3

===ONStor Upgrade===
We have found a bug that is tweaked by CIFS against the ONStor virtual file servers. We are going to perform a system upgrade on '''Wednesday April 8th from 6pm-10pm'''. Since we have a clustered system there should be no downtime for any of our virtual servers however you could see a performance degradation during the update because all the virtual servers will have to be running on one of the ONStors. The major file systems that are hosted in our ONStor virtual server complex are,

* /nfshomes
* /fs/www
* /fs/ftp
* lccd NFS shares including /lccdhomes
* lamp NFS shares
* glcf NFS shares
* /usr/local and /opt NFS shares for UNIX clients

Bkirz: /* Connecting to an SFTP Server */

SSH File Transfer Protocol ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol SFTP]) is a network protocol used to securely transfer and manage files on remote systems. SFTP is layered on top of the [[SSH]] protocol, and is preferred over [[FTP]] as a method of remote file transfer.

==Connecting to an SFTP Server==
Under RedHat Linux 3, 4, and 5, and Mac OS X, the following command from a terminal will connect a client computer to the UMIACS [[OpenLab]].

wing:~ bkirz$ sftp bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu

On Windows XP or Vista hosts there are no SFTP clients installed by default. Users can install [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY], which will enable SSH and SFTP access.

Alternatively, users can use the UMIACS Intranet SFTP Web Applet located [https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/sftp/ here] without installing any additional software.

==Further Information==

More information about SFTP can be found at [http://www.openssh.org/ http://www.openssh.org/].

Bkirz:

UMIACS provides FTP services for transferring data to and from external collaborators. Since the FTP protocol is conducted entirely in plaintext, external users login to the service as anonymous, and internal users can access the file directories internally. Users will never authenticate over FTP with their UMIACS account.

==Getting data from Collaborators==

Collaborators can drop data for users into their FTP incoming file system, located from the FTP service at

<pre>ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/incoming/<username>/</pre>

FTP logins can write to this space to upload data, but cannot list the files they have placed there. Users can then access the data in their ftpincoming space from /fs/ftp/incoming/<username> from supported unix machines, or from windows via \\conduit.umiacs.umd.edu\ftpincoming.

Please move your data as soon as possible after it is left for you - files older than 15 days are subject to deletion as necessary.

==Publishing data sets via FTP==

Users can place data to be externally accessible in their public FTP space, which is located from the FTP service as

<pre>ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/pub/<username>/</pre>

To upload data to your public site, you can upload data to /fs/ftp/pub/<username> from unix hosts, or \\conduit.umiacs.umd.edu\ftppublic from windows.

UMIACS provides these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ftp File Transfer Protocol (FTP)] Services:

==Anonymous FTP==
Users have a directory only accessible from supported machines that can be used to make files available to remote users.

* For UNIX/Linux users, the directory is /fs/ftp/pub
* For Windows/Mac users, the directory is \\umiacs-webftp.umiacs.umd.edu\ftp-umiacs\pub

All files in the directory are accessible remotely at ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/pub

==Incoming FTP Drop Boxes==
Users are also provided with a directory which can be used to drop off data remotely. This is done with an FTP drop box, located at ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/incoming.

Once dropped off via FTP, the files are accessible from any supported host.

* For UNIX/Linux users, the directory is /fs/ftp/incoming
* For Windows/Mac users, the directory is \\umiacs-webftp.umiacs.umd.edu\ftp-umiacs\incoming

----

Please note that all FTP access we provide is anonymous; we do not provide authenticated FTP as it is a insecure protocol. Please look to use [[SFTP]] or [[SCP]] as alternatives to FTP.

SecureCopy

2008-06-05T16:30:34Z

Bkirz:

Secure Copy (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell SCP]) is a way of copying data between two computers using [[SSH]].

==Using SCP==
The following commands work under RedHat Linux 3, 4, and 5, and Mac OS X.

This command, when run from a terminal, will copy the file "source_file.txt" from the local machine to a folder inside the user's OpenLab account and give it the name "target_file.txt".
wing:~ Ben$ scp source_file.txt bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu:Desktop/target_file.txt

This command, when run from a terminal, will copy the file "source_file.txt" from the user's OpenLab account into the current local directory and give it the name "target_file.txt".
wing:~ Ben$ scp bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu:Desktop/source_file.txt target_file.txt

Note how the syntax of scp is very similar to that of the UNIX command cp with the addition of a hostname and username.

On Windows XP or Vista hosts there are no SCP clients installed by default. Users can install [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY], which will enable SSH and SCP access.

Alternatively, all users can use the UMIACS Intranet SFTP Web Applet located [https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/ssh/ here] without installing any additional software.

SecureShell

2008-06-05T15:37:10Z

Bkirz:

Secure Shell (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell SSH]) is a network protocol allowing two computers to exchange data securely over an insecure network. By default use of SSH brings the user to a terminal, but the protocol can be used for other types of data transfer such as [[SFTP]] and [[SCP]].

==Connecting to an SSH Server==
Under RedHat Linux 3, 4, and 5, and Mac OS X, the following command from a terminal will connect a client computer to the UMIACS OpenLab.
wing:~ Ben$ ssh bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu
This will give you access to a terminal on any one of the OpenLab servers. Note that by default you will not have access to applications that require X11 to run.

On Windows XP or Vista hosts there are no SFTP clients installed by default. Users can install [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY], which will enable SSH and SFTP access.

Alternatively, all users can use the UMIACS Intranet SFTP Web Applet located [https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/ssh/ here] without installing any additional software.

==Enabling X11 Forwarding==
By default, SSH only gives the user shell access to a host. Enabling X11 Forwarding allows users to run applications with Graphical User Interfaces.

Under RedHat Linux 3, 4, and 5, and Mac OS X, the following command from a terminal will connect a client computer to the UMIACS OpenLab using X11 Forwarding.
wing:~ Ben$ ssh '''-X''' bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu

'''Note:''' Mac users must have X11 installed in their systems for X11 forwarding to work. This can be checked by looking for X11.app in /Applications/Utilities. You can find the installer [http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html here].

Windows users can enable X11 forwarding in PuTTY by opening the PuTTY Configuration Pane, and checking the box marked "Enable X11 Forwarding" under Categories->Connection->SSH->Tunnels.

Note that the UMIACS Intranet SFTP Web Applet does ''not'' allow X11 Forwarding.

Alternatively, users can use the UMIACS Intranet SFTP Web Applet located [https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/sftp/ here] without installing any additional software.

SSH File Transfer Protocol ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol SFTP]) is a network protocol used to securely transfer and manage files on remote systems. SFTP is layered on top of the [[SecureShell | SSH]] protocol, and is preferred over [[File Transfer Protocol | FTP]] as a method of remote file transfer.

==Connecting to an SFTP Server==
Under RedHat Linux 3, 4, or 5, or Mac OS X, running the following command from a terminal will connect a host to an SFTP client.
