Project Directories

UMIACS labs distribute shared data to workgroups onsite and outside UMIACS using a wide variety of protocols including FTP, SFTP, SCP, and NFS.

On-site clients can access project directories through the Network File System (NFS) protocol. Supported UNIX workstations map project directories to

   /fs/

Windows workstations can access these directories using a SFTP client, such as WinSCP.

Project data storage may not be shared by default with every host. Please send mail to staff to configure a new share.

Clients can also access data using authenticated File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), and Secure Copy (SCP) through UMIACS file servers.

Usage Guidelines

Project Directories using Network attached Storage (NAS) are tuned for your workgroup's requirements and preferences.

Please avoid storing personal data in project storage allocations. Separating project data from personal data will simplify administration and data management for both researchers and staff.
