How do I
transfer files between my accounts on the mason (mason) and IT&E (chrono) clusters? 
We strongly recommend using secure file transfer to move files instead of using regular ftp.
See the SSH
connections page.
For direct transfer between the two clusters:
Log onto the IT&E unix cluster. (If using Windows in the IT&E Labs, you may log onto chrono.ite.gmu.edu directly using SSH secure shell. If elsewhere, follow the procedure to access IT&E accounts from home.)
If you are using a UNIX terminal or command prompt,
- open an ftp session to the server, e.g.: ftp mason.gmu.edu. Follow the prompts and provide your username and password.
The following basic commands will help you get around, feel free to use the internet for more FTP help and commands.
-
mget file1.x --- transfers file1.x to the machine that started the ftp session.
- mput file1.x --- transfers file1.x to the server.
- cd -- change directory on the server.
- lcd -- change directory of the local machine.
- !pwd -- present working directory on the local machine.
- pwd -- present working directory of the remote machine.
- ? - help.
How do I transfer files from home to my Mason (mason) account?
Open a command window (Start, Run, cmd [on Windows NT/2K/XP]; Start, Run, command [on Windows 9X]), and enter the command ftp mason.gmu.edu. The commands are the same as above (except there is no !pwd). For help, type a '?' at the ftp> prompt.

You can use Secure Shell to connect to Mason(mason) account drag and drop files between your local machine and your mason account. See the connecting with SSH instructions.
How do I transfer files between home and my IT&E (chrono) unix account?
Details are given in the connecting with SSH instructions. You can get Secure Shell(SSH) for use at home from here. After downloading SSH follow directions above.
