DKR Server Usage

Step 1

Contact Dr. Dong Wen to join the group dwen+dbgprojects.

Step 2

Contact cse system support (ss@cse.unsw.edu.au) to create a personal folder in the vldb server. After creating the directory your folder address is: /import/vldb/1/scratch/zid

Step 3

Since vldbcannot be accessed directly by the external network. vldbserver can only log in via LAN.

If you are working in K17, you can connect directly to the vldbserver:

If you are working from home, you need to connect to the cseserver first before you can connect to the vldbserver:

And your personal folder address is: /import/vldb/1/scratch/zid

Remote Connection

If you want to use remote connect in vscode, please do not use remote-ssh to connect our server. You can follow the instruction posted by cse(http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~learn/homecomputing/sshfs-remote/).

Share Files Between Users

First method

You can use scp command to share. It will be pretty fast since all the servers are LAN. For example:

Second method

You can use SimpleHTTPServer module which belongs to http.server in Python. Using http.server build a temporary file server to share files. For example, user 1 want to share file to user 2. First switch to the folder you want to share. Then user 1 can execute the following command in terminal:

User 2 can use wget to get the file:
