You can access BIAC file servers from outside of BIAC using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). You'll need a BIAC Windows account 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 Experiment Info page.

1. Tell your SFTP file transfer client to connect to nernst.biac.duke.edu
2. Log on using your BIAC Windows username (Just use your username without the domain name. E.g., smith or abc123)
3. Change to your experiment directory (E.g., /Munin/Smith/MyExp.01)
