NOTE: Data are moved to the SAN on the plateau every morning at 9:30am. However, if you're wanting to get your data to the SAN (and from there to the servers in Cape Town sooner than 9:30am) you MUST have run the shocdatacopy.sh script in order to get the data to the SAN. You can then obtain the data from astro.suth.saao.ac.za (or astro.cape.saao.ac.za if you're back in Cape Town). See Data Transfer information under the advanced guide below for details on how to transfer to the SAN.
Running the shocdatacopy.sh script as follows will transfer data to astro.suth.saao.ac.za in Sutherland. This can be run as the user (sho40in or shoc74in) on the various SHOC machines. To do the transfer, log into shoc74in.suth.saao.ac.za (or shoc40in.suth.saao.ac.za) as the appropriate user, then run the script:
shoc74in@shocnawe:~$ shocdatacopy.sh [-d today|yesterday]
