We have about 60 NMR users on one of our Bruker instruments; the number will be
more than 80 next year. The hard drive on our SG O2 is only 4 GB (about 40% was
left after installing IRIX 6.5 and XWINNMR 2.6). The department may not spend
1,800 for an 18 GB hard drive. Even if we can buy a big hard drive it will be
full very soon again.
I am going to ask NMR users to move their data to their own PC or Macintosh
because their hard drive can be more than 10 GB. The followings are what I am
going to ask them to do:
(1) Telnet to our SG O2 from their PC or Macintosh, go to their data directory
and tar their files.
(2) Use Anarchi (Macintosh users) or CuteFTP (PC users) ftp our SG O2 and move
the tar files to their computers. Delete their tar files and original data in
our SG O2.
(3) When they want to check their data again, they can use Anarchi or CuteFTP
put their tar files back to our O2 for a very short time.
How do you think about this? Do you have a better and cheaper way? Should I
worry about virus in their PC and Macintosh?
Best wishes,
Frank
