File transfer to/from Bianca using a graphical tool

FileZilla connected to Bianca

Overview

As a user, we need to transfer files between our local computer and Bianca. There are many ways to transfer files to/from Bianca. On this page, we learn how to transfer files to Bianca using a graphical tool/program.

There are constraints on which programs we can use, due to Bianca being an HPC cluster for sensitive data. Details are described in 'Bianca's constraints', here are graphical tools that work:

UPPMAX guide	Description
File transfer to/from Bianca using FileZilla	All operating systems
File transfer to/from Bianca using WinSCP	Windows-only
Cyberduck	Mac and Windows only

When using such a graphical tool, one needs to be inside of SUNET.

Forgot how to get within SUNET?

See the 'get inside the university networks' page

When a tool is setup, one can only transfer files between you local computer and your Bianca wharf folder.
