Now type in the HPC Login in the Host name field (apollo.hpc.sussex.ac.uk or feynman.hpc.sussex.ac.uk).

Type in your Sussex University Username and Password. Then Click on Login.

A warning message would come up. Click on Yes to Trust the Host and Continue.

This will login you into your Sussex HPC Home profile on the right hand pane of your window (/mnt/nfs2/its/ab570/files), and Your Local Computer Documents folder (C:Usersits-userDocuments) to the Left Pane of your WinSCP window session.

Please Note: The file Paths and directories in this example, should be your HPC home folder and Your own local computer account profile.

In the example we would drag and drop files (file-101.txt), to the HPC cluster home folder to the right side pane of the window.

It will prompt you to click OK on the file upload to your HPC Cluster Profile.

Now you will note the file (file-101.txt) has been transfered to the folder on the right pane window on the HPC.

So you now copy your files between you local computer and the HPC Cluster.
