EOS is a storage facility for CERN LHC use cases. **EOS commands** - eos ls : list contents - eos cp : copy contents **EOSmount** - eosmount ~/eos : mount the eos foler, which can then be used with regular unix commands. **Copying files from EOS to Carleton** Not sure if this is the best way, but one possibliity is to - Log in to lxplus. - Take note of the node name (e.g. lxplus004) - Copy the files you want to the /tmp/$USER disk at the lxplus node - Once finished, scp (or rcp) the file from the tmp disk to the Carleton disk. **Example** cd /tmp/$USER eos ls /eos/atlas/atlascerngroupdisk/phys-higgs/HSG1/MxAOD/h014/mc15c/ eos cp /eos/atlas/atlascerngroupdisk/phys-higgs/HSG1/MxAOD/h014/mc15c/mc15c.PowhegPy8_ggH125.MxAODDetailed.p2669.h014.root ./ From Carleton, you can copy the file with the command scp tapark@lxplus0059.cern.ch:/tmp/tapark/mc15c.PowhegPy8_ggH125.MxAODDetailed.p2669.h014.root .
