Our FLEXPART account is SPNOFLEX

You can log in to ECMWF from two different webpages or via an xterm terminal.

To log in:

username : usr (Nina: sb9, Sabine: sbc, Henrik sb1d)

enter token (Actividentity) password (enter set 4 digit pin first)

Account settings:

To set-up automatic transfers of files go to the ECMWF web service

Go to:

> Account
> ECtrans setup

Set the following fields as follows to establish your MS association:

Status: enabled
Hostname: zardoz.nilu.no
Directory: mydirectory
Default destination: genericFtp
Login: myzardozusername
Password: myzardozpassword

ssh –X user@ecaccess.ecmwf.int

enter token (Actividentity) password

hostname: ecgate (normal) or c1a (supercomputer)

Account settings:

The default shell is csh and only csh and ksh are fully supported.

To update account settings use command:

setup_user

this updates .cshrc, .user_kshr, .login, .nqshosts and saves originals as *.orig files

Set PATH in .cshrc

Add aliases etc in .login

If problems with recognising the terminal, add the following line to .cshrc

setenv TERM vt220

Set-up file transfer

Using ftp to the gateway:

ftp ftp-gw

Now have to enter zardoz username and password.

To avoid entering username and password (work in batch mode) create a .netrc file in home directory on ecgate:

vi .netrc
machine ftp-gw login user@zardoz.nilu.no password mypassword

To check who is who use the command finger with a name. finger nina
