2. Logging in and account settings
Our FLEXPART account is SPNOFLEX
You can log in to ECMWF from two different webpages or via an xterm terminal.
Log in to ECMWF websites
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
Log in from terminal
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
