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:


ssh zid@vldb.cse.unsw.edu.au

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


xxxxxxxxxx
ssh zid@cse.unsw.edu.au
ssh zid@vldb.cse.unsw.edu.au

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/).

First method

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


x
scp file.txt zid@vldb.cse.unsw.edu.au:/path

# scp with directory
scp -r directory zid@vldb.cse.unsw.edu.au:/path

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:


python3 -m http.server --bind 0.0.0.0 8000

User 2 can use wget to get the file:


wget 0.0.0.0:8000/file
