On NCSA machines, the directory /u/skel contains skeleton
.cshrc and .login
files that are given to all new logins.
On an NCSA HPC machine, edit the file /var/forward/$USER/.forward and change the
email address to the new one.
The error "not a plain file" usually indicates that FTP cannot transfer
a file because it is larger than 2 Gbytes in size.
First, if you are transferring files from one of NCSA's
HPC
systems, use mssftp or msscmd instead of ftp.
(See the man pages for details.) If you are not on one of NCSA's HPC systems,
you may be able to use one the following commands at the FTP prompt:
get remotebigfile "|cat > localbigfile"
put "|cat < localbigfile" remotebigfile
where remotebigfile is the name of the file on the remote computer and
localbigfile is the name of the file on the local computer.
If the local system's cat command supports large files, this should work fine.
There is no utility currently for a user to set a default project. You can
set a project for a batch job to be charged with the LoadLeveler directive:
#@ account_no
If the account_no directive is not specified, the batch job will
be charged
to the first project listed for the user in the file /etc/project.
Interactive jobs are charged to the user's default group (specified in the
file /etc/passwd).
To request that your default project be changed, send a request to
consult@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
