Remote File Access

This document explains methods to access the data on your Tardis account from home or some other remote computer. From a users point of view there are two main approaches to remote filesystem access:

• A special program transfers individual files or directories from one host to another:

  • FileTransfer - FTP and SSH on Unix and Windows

• The filesystem of the remote host gets attached to the local host such that it appears as a normal filesystem and can be accessed directly from every application:

  • FileSystemAccess - Samba and CIFS on Linux, network drive on Windows
