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
