=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==
The NBER site has a [http://www.nber.org/help/localhelp/ basic help section], and you should probably start with the [http://www.nber.org/help/localhelp/newuser.html New Users Page].
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==
From /proc/version nber7 is running Redhat 4.4.4-10, linux kernel 2.6.33
Key software includes:
*PHP 5.3.3
*Perl 5.10.1
==Initial Setup==
ln -s /disk/scratch8/username/ scratch
Create your web directory (accessible at www.nber.org/~username - this currently doesn't work for me):
mkdir public_html
chmod ugo+r public_html
chmod a+x public_html
Note that you need to set the entire directory to executable.
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 a client each of the nber4-9 nodes. From one of these nodes do:
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;

==File Transfer==
===SFTP===
Using sftp is straight forward:
#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 ==See also==
