UniTree

UniTree is the mass storage system available to all users for permanent
storage of data. Your UniTree login is the same as that on the NCSA machines. 

UNITREE PASSWORD: Your UniTree password is your Kerberos password. To
  change it, use the passwd command. 


UNITREE ACCESS: You can access UniTree via the ftp utility.  There are three
   ways to access UniTree.
   o  ftp mss.ncsa.uiuc.edu
      This needs to be the kerberized ftp client (/usr/local/krb5/bin/ftp 
      on NCSA production machines). 
   o  mssftp (see man mssftp)
      mssftp is available on all NCSA production machines.  mssftp
      will automatically connect you to UniTree without the need to 
      enter a login name or password. 
   o  msscmd (see man msscmd)
      msscmd is available on all NCSA production machines.  msscmd
      is available both interactively and for use in batch scripts.

      On the NCSA Origin2000 Array, the -b/-B options are available for 
      automated, guaranteed saving of files from batch jobs. See
      http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SCD/Hardware/Origin2000/Doc/msscmd.html
      for information.

   When a file is retrieved from UniTree, the permissions are not.  Files
   are returned from UniTree, with only the permissions set by 'umask'
   (see man umask).  If your file needs to be executable, you will need to 
   do the following:

      chmod u+x filename

   (see man chmod) after retrieving your file from UniTree before you
   can run it.  Alternatively, since 'tar' maintains the permissions
   of files, you could use 'tar' to keep your files in UniTree and
   avoid using chmod after retrieving executable files (see man tar).
   Sample batch scripts that use UniTree commands are available in
   the directory /usr/local/doc/lsf/samples.

UNITREE QUOTAS:  None:  Quotas were disabled in June of 1994.         

   User's files will be saved until 1 year after the user's last account
   has expired.
