In several experiments this semester, you will use a lab computer for instrument control and data acquisition. There are times when it is convenient to have your raw data files uploaded to bohr so that you might analyze the data using Matlab. Additionally, there are times when files and figures (graphs) that are generated by matlab need to downloaded to your own computer. These operations can be done in the following manner.
1. To upload files from one of the lab computers to your online account:
1.1. Click on the 
icon found on the computer desktop to start the WinSCP file transfer program. The File protocol should be SFTP, and the port should be 22. Enter login.oit.duke.edu under Host Name. Enter your NetID (User name) and password, and click on Login. Click Continue at the Authentication Banner.
1.2. You will see a dialog box, part of which is shown above. On the left-hand side of the screen is your local directory (i.e., the directory of the lab computer). It should default to the directory containing your data. If not, change the directory to the correct one. You should see a list of those files found in the local directory. On the right-hand side you will see the contents of your OIT account.
1.3. To transfer files from the local PC to your OIT account, first highlight the appropriate files you want transferred. Click on the 
button at the top of the screen. An Upload dialog box will appear. Click OK to copy your files from the local PC to your OIT account. Or, click on Transfer Settings if you want to check to see that the transfer is configured properly. (In general, the Transfer mode should be Text and the File modification should be No change.) Then click on Copy. Check to be sure all of your files are transferred and then exit your session by clicking the X at the upper right corner of the screen.
2. Downloading files from your OIT account to your own Windows computer or to one of the lab computers is accomplished in the same manner, except that you should select the files you want to download, and execute the transfer from your OIT account to your local computer.
3. Transferring files back and forth between your Macintosh computer and your OIT account can be accomplished in the following manner.
3.1. From the Go menu (found when you are in your Finder), select Connect to Server.
3.2. In the text box at the next screen enter,
smb://homedir.win.duke.edu/users/the first letter of your NetID/your full NetID
An example of a correct server address is shown below, where w is the first letter of the NetID, and woerner is the NetID.
3.3. Click the Connect button. You will be prompted for your NetID and Password.
3.4. Once connected a new icon will appear on your desktop.
If you do not see the icon appear, Check the Finder Preferences,
and make sure Connected Servers is checked.
3.5. The connected server on your desktop acts like any other folder on your Mac. Click on it to open it and see the contents of your online OIT account. Drag and drop to move files back and forth between your Mac and your OIT account.
