How to Get a File off the Broad Server

I had to retrieve a file from gatk support that was on the server in order to share it with a forum user. Here are the steps.

Open a terminal (You probably have to be on the Broad Internal Network for this to work)

ssh @login

You will have to accept the key if this is the first time logging in.

cp /humgen/gsa-hpprojects/dev/rest/of/file/path/filename .

Open another terminal without logging into the Broad.

scp @login:~/filename ~/Desktop

This will copy the file from the Broad server to your desktop.

Follow the instructions for sharing a large file with a forum user next.
