How to mount your Atlas home on your computer

Using sshfs it is quite simple but could be a little bit on the slower side of life.

Prerequisites:

1. Make sure you can ssh into the cluster without problems, e.g. gsissh atlas1.atlas.aei.uni-hannover.de works fine.
2. You need to have sshfs installed (it's a fused based module), e.g. sudo apt-get install sshfs

Action

Now it should be very simple. Assuming you want to have your Atlas home under ~/ATLAS (assuming it exists), then just type

sshfs -C -o ssh_command=/usr/bin/gsissh atlas1.atlas.aei.uni-hannover.de:/home/USER ~/ATLAS

substituting your user name for USER.

Good-Bye

Before disconnecting from the network you should unmount it with

fusermount -u ~/ATLAS
