scp script

[gusl]

The ICA project needs now needs a large number of simulations, all for the sake of determining the optimal alpha level (confidence level for pruning edges) for different conditions (we are optimizing over like 7 dimensions: sample size, distribution, max # of parents, etc.). I expect this may need to run somewhere from 2-5 days.

So I called CS Helpdesk, and turns out I can use a General Purpose machine, i.e. linux.gp.cs.cmu.edu .

I copied over the JAR and adapted my script to run there (after fixing permissions with chmod).

However, since I will probably need to do several pilot runs first, I will need a command-line script to update the JAR.

Here's my attempts:

bash-3.2$ scp ./build/tetrad/upload/tetrad-* gusl@linux.gp.cs.cmu.edu:~
bash: [1300: 1] tcsetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[1]+  Stopped                 scp ./build/tetrad/upload/tetrad-* gusl@linux.gp.cs.cmu.edu:~
bash-3.2$ 
bash-3.2$ scp ./build/tetrad/upload/tetrad-* gusl@linux.gp.cs.cmu.edu:~/
bash: [1300: 1] tcsetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[2]+  Stopped                 scp ./build/tetrad/upload/tetrad-* gusl@linux.gp.cs.cmu.edu:~/
bash-3.2$ scp ./build/tetrad/upload/tetrad-* gusl@linux.gp.cs.cmu.edu:~/tetrad.jar
bash: [1300: 1] tcsetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[3]+  Stopped                 scp ./build/tetrad/upload/tetrad-* gusl@linux.gp.cs.cmu.edu:~/tetrad.jar

Any clue what this means?

I just want to copy that file matching ./build/tetrad/upload/tetrad-* to my AFS home directory.

UPDATE: I should add that this shell is not logged in to my AFS. So I would need to type in my password every time I run the script... unless there is a better way.

UPDATE for myself:

thanks to dachte:
in cygwin
scp ./build/tetrad/upload/tetrad-*.jar gusl@linux.gp.cs.cmu.edu:~/

More notes:
* Use WinSCP to see my AFS space
* Use OpenSSH to get the remote shell

also in tcsh you get weird errors if you don't wrap wildcard arguments for remote files in single quotes because the shell tries to expand them and of course can't.
