The structure of directory set-up on Kibo is simple. Once you log in, you will be at your home directory which is a directory named your NetID. If you <code>ls ../</code>, you'll see that there are multiple such directories labeled with NetIDs of other people who use Kibo. Generally, you will not have write access on those other directories nor root access, unless that access has been granted. | The structure of directory set-up on Kibo is simple.

We currently don't have anything set up to open and see the image files stored on the remote Kibo machine from the terminal. For now, one easy solution would be to enter <code>scp -T -r yourNetID@kibo.soc.northwestern.edu:pathtofile .</code> in a folder on your local machine. This securely copies the files to the current directory that you are in. You will have to enter your password as if you were logging into kibo. | We currently don't have anything set up to open and see the image files stored on the remote Kibo machine from the terminal.
