==== File Transfer for Windows ====

{{ :hpc:psftp.png?direct&600|}}=== Putty PSFTP ===
If you want to transfer files from your Windows workstation to your home directory on the cluster you need an SFTP client.
A popular option is Putty's PSFTP client. You don't need administrator rights to run this program. You can download the latest PSFTP from [[https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html|Alternative binary files > psftp.exe]], then just double click on the file to start the client. 

To connect to the cluster run **open gateway.hpc.tu-berlin.de**

You can move files from your local directory to the remote directory and vice versa.
Use **lcd** to change your local directory (e.g. **lcd C:\Users\Username\Desktop**)
**cd** to change the remote directory, **ls** to list the contents of the remote directory you are currently in.
Use **get -r <dir>** to transfer a remote directory <dir> to you local directory and **put -r <dir>** to transfer a local directory <dir> to the remote directory. 

run **help** to list all commands.

=== WinSPC ===

An alternative to Puttys SFTP client is the WinSCP client. It can be installed in inside the users directory, so no administrator permissions are required. A portable version also exists. 
WinSCP can be downloaded [[http://example.com|here]].\\ 
To connect to the cluster start WinSCP and enter **gateway.hpc.tu-berlin.de** as hostname. File protocol is SFTP port is 22. Then login. Enter your TU-username and your password when asked.
