====== Using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to access BIAC file servers ======

===== Overview =====

You can access BIAC file servers from outside of BIAC using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). You'll need [[biac:accounts|BIAC computer access]] for connecting to Nernst, which is a BIAC file server. Once you've logged on to Nernst, you will see virtual directories for each of the BIAC file servers. You should find your experiment directory inside the directory corresponding to the server where it is located. If you are not sure which server your experiment is on, check your [[https://www.biac.duke.edu/calendar/expinfo.asp|Experiment Info page]].

===== Steps to Connect =====
  - Tell your SFTP file transfer client to connect to **nernst.biac.duke.edu**
  - Log on using your Duke NetID (Just use your username without the domain name. E.g., **smith** or **abc123**)
  - Change to your experiment directory (E.g., **/Munin/Smith/MyExp.01**)
