How to download your data from NYSBC

• You should already be set up with an sftp account to sftp.nysbc.net
  

     sftp <your username>@sftp.nysbc.net
     password: <your password>
     sftp> cd /mnt/cemdata 
     sftp> ls
     jeol_1230  jeol_2100  jeol_3200  tecnai
   

• You will see a list of microscope directories: j1230 ; j2100 ; j2100 ; tecnai
• Change to the appropriate microscope, then to your directory

     sftp> cd tecnai/<your username>
     sftp> ls
     temdata
     sftp> cd temdata
     sftp> ls
     [... list of files and directories]
    sftp>  get myimage.dat
  

   sftp> bye

Hints

• Don't put any spaces in filenames or directory names
• If you absolutely insist on putting spaces in file/directory names, need to enclose them with ' ' when using sftp.

   sftp get 'my filename that has spaces.mrc'

• Can use * and ? to get multiple files
  • * matches any number of characters
  • ? matches any single character
  • example: image*.mrc will match image.mrc, image001.mrc, image_bunchofstuff.mrc
  • image???.mrc will match image001.mrc, but not image.mrc, image01.mrc
• For obvious reasons, don't put * or ? in your file or directory names

• If you are unable to log in to the sftp server, contact rice@nysbc.org
