Non-RHUL users: due to the Siemens PC running an outdated version of Samba, it is not possible to access the MRI raw storage from off-campus. Non-RHUL users need to bring a portable hard drive or USB stick to download data on-site. We are working on a solution to this issue.

RHUL users: Data from the MRI scanner are uploaded onto the MRIRaw folder, accessible from the cluster or psycomp. Please see OS-specific instructions for downloading the data to a local PC below using secure FTP.

There are many programs for transferring data using secure FTP. The instructions below are for an open source program called FileZilla that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and has a similar interface across all platforms.

Open the FileZilla home page and follow the instructions for downloading and installing for your operating system.

Start FileZilla - you should be able to find it in the Start menu (Windows), or the Applications menu (Linux) or from the Dock (Mac).

The start up window will look something like this:

To login, enter the host name (psycomp.rhul.ac.uk or psyclogin02.rhul.ac.uk) in the Host text box, your username for the host (which isn't necessarily your RHUL user name), password, and 22 for the port (this is for secure FTP):

Now click on the Quickconnect button. You might see a pop-up window titled “Unknown host key”; click OK to continue. The result should look as follows:
