Make adjustments according to your preferences. In case you just happened to wish for enabling shorter attention spans during your Ramses sessions: The default of `ServerAliveInterval` (in seconds) may cause automatic logouts after a relatively short idle time. Overriding this behaviour, as shown above, can also be done globally on your host through (sudo) editing the file `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`. Then, it would simply be a line entry like `ServerAliveInterval 1000`.

### 3.1 Direct transfer using `scp` or `rsync`
To transfer your data to the cluster, we recommend using [scp](https://tldr.inbrowser.app/pages/common/scp)(**s**ecure**c**o**p**y) - either on the command line (CLI/Terminal) or with a graphical client (e.g. WinSCP).

### 3.2 Globus Transfer service
If you need to transfer data and have no direct access to the remote system (`scp`, `rsync` etc. not possible), you can use the [Globus Transfer service](https://www.globus.org/data-transfer). It is free for non-profit organizations, and all UoC members can login via [Shibboleth](https://www.shibboleth.net/) and their UoC credentials. You can either use the Globus [personal end point](https://docs.globus.org/globus-connect-personal/install/linux/) or a [web-based interface](https://app.globus.org/) for transferring your data:

1. To install the Globus personal end point in your $HOME on Ramses, follow [these instructions](https://docs.globus.org/globus-connect-personal/install/linux/). It is important to enable X-forwarding when logging in to Ramses (via `ssh -X` or `ssh -Y <user@ramses>`). Otherwise the graphical interface for installation and setup will not work.
