Downloading and uploading files to the CHPC can be somewhat painful using SSH. It would be nice if you could drag and drop files using Finder onto CHPC. It turns out you can!
To do this, follow these steps:
Open Finder
In the top bar, click Go > Connect To Server (or press Option + K in finder)
Type in "smb://samba.chpc.utah.edu/hpc-home/uXXXXXXX", replacing the X's with your UID.
Press connect.
Fill out your uNID and CHPC password and continue.
Once you've done this, you should have two drives connected on your desktop. One which connects to your `$HOME` directory on CHPC, and another which connects you to every group folder. This second one . You can use these drives to explore, copy, paste, edit, delete (etc.) files on CHPC directly.
You can also access the folders in a terminal by pathing to `/Volumes/`
Caveats
Caveats
Because MacOS requires special directory files, just viewing a directory on CHPC will create a `.DS_Store` or `._DS_Store` file in the directory.
Symbolic links on CHPC do not appear in Finder, so if you have a shortcut in your home directory, you won't be able to use it.
