YOU CANNOT READ OR SEE THE FILES THAT YOU UPLOAD VIA FTP (nor can anyone else on the internet). Each server has a designated area for this, with a set of subdirectories under it as 'lock boxes' for individual staff members. NRAO ftp servers are set up to permit a limited upload service. The FTP servers are not set up for password based access, because the passwords are not encrypted when transmitted from your computer to the server. The actual location on disk of the ftp servers may be found on Linux systems at each site under /home/ftp/. Remember to use the bin command if you are retrieving a binary file such as FITS. Once in, you can then use the normal ftp commands cd (to change directory), ls to list files, and get to retrieve files. The convention is to enter your e-mail address as the password this helps us diagnose things in the event of problems. When challenged for a username, use anonymous. To connect to one of the three servers, pick one of these commands: ftp The specifics of how to connect depend on your FTP client (command line ftp, FileZilla, etc.) The instructions here are for the old fashioned command line interface. You can only connect to the anonymous ftp site as the user ftp or anonymous and therefore only have limited read-only access to the NRAO system. Secure (Shell) 'ftp', actually part of ssh andĪnonymous ftp is used mostly by non-NRAO staff to either retrieve files or upload files into the incoming directory.The NRAO provides three file transfer services: ASTROCLOUD is not suited to very large (gigabyte and larger) files. For small to medium size files, ASTROCLOUD is a better, secure, easy to use method for either sharing files, or allowing upload. With the advent of ASTROCLOUD, the use of FTP for file sharing has changed.
