Can I ssh from Purdue Anvil into a different cluster? I do this usually with no issues but when I try on Anvil it hangs. I also cant really use rsync/scp on Anvil. I can however rsync/scp files or ssh “into” Anvil from a different cluster.
I think you should email Anvil help desk directly, ask them if they have port 22 (ssh / scp) disabled for outgoing connections.
A work around for transferring files to a cluster that you can’t use scp/ssh from is to use curl/wget with https(443).
All that is ‘in the weeds’ stuff - it is best to just ask Anvil staff if they can recommend a way to do whatever it is you are trying to do - I assume that is transfer files. (If you just want to ‘ssh’ to a cluster, then you really don’t need to do that from Anvil.)
Thank you for your response. I will reach out to Anvil staff.
I do not wish to ‘ssh’ to a cluster from Anvil but if cant use ssh from Anvil there is a good chance I cant rsync files from a different cluster, which is the point I was trying to make.
If you are trying to transfer files, you may consider using globus. if one of the sites don’t have globus service setup, you can setup globus personal for yourself.
Depends on if the cluster you are trying to reach from Anvil is behind firewall/VPN, it may or may not work using rsync over ssh.
