=For Local Users=
==1050-fileserver==
1050-fileserver is the local fileserver. By default you have 5Gb of space.
==Remote Desktop==
IP address assignment is dynamic - even for the wired connections.
==Getting Help==
See Debby or Mohan for IT, Lisa for office related.
=For Remote Users=
==Help Pages==
You should receive an instructive email, which will warn you about the quota and backup proceedures. It claims to be here (but isn't): /home/lib/bulkwarning.txt
==Email setup==
Users have an email account with the address username@nber.org. You can go to www.nber.org/user-setup to configure your forwarding and account preferences.
==About the system==
*PHP 5.3.3
*Perl 5.10.1
==Initial Setup==
My webspace is at: http://www.nber.org/~edegan
==Connecting Remotely==
Connect directly to a node. Available nodes are nber4,nber7,nber8, and nber9 for Linux (ssh to nber7.nber.org for example). Two nodes run Solaris: nber5 and nber6. Use PuTTY, or your favorite SSH client. ==MYSQL== You can connect the MySQL server from inside the network. There is also a SAS nodeclient each of the nber4-9 nodes. From one of these nodes do: sas1 mysql -h mysql. nber.org -u username -p For the wiki there there is dedicated account with username wikipatent. mysql-h mysql.nber.org -u wikipatent -p use patentwiki; show tables; (The password is available from Mohan)
==File Transfer==
===SFTP===
Using sftp is straight forward:
#Run sftp from your command line
#Use it.
For example, open a cmd prompt, then type:
sftp username@nber7.nber.org
ls
put Test.txt
exit
There is a [http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_sftp.htm documentation on the 'sftp'] command on about.com.
===SAMBA===
Using Samba is currently giving me problems - it appears that port forwarding is not currently supported.
However, there is a [http://www.nber.org/help/localhelp/tunnel.html help guide], and if you are using windows 7 then search cmd.exe, right click, run as adminstrator, and then rype: hdwwiz.exe to run the hardware wizard. From this point on, in installation is as in the guide. The loopback adaptor is under 'Windows', when you browse for the adaptor.
===WGet===
The wget tool is installed on the NBER's linux boxes. This lets you retrieve files over HTTP.
Once you have SSH'd in, just:
wget url
e.g. wget http://www.edegan.com/images/EJE%20BlackOnWhite.jpg
==SAS==
The SAS node is on: sas1.nber.org. SSH on to it, then run an interactive SAS session using:
sas -nodms
...
endsas;
==Getting Help==
There is a online list for [http://www.nber.org/help/localhelp/support.htm support contacts]. The phone prefix is 617. I've mostly worked with Mohan Ramanajan, who is the primary Unix guru: [mailto:mohan@nber.org mohan@nber.org] or 617 588-0367
