FTP File Exchange

An FTP server is available to which, under special circumstances, files may be uploaded. Also, sometimes special distributions or bug fixes are posted to the server for user download.

Use ftp surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu. Login as anonymous and use your email addresses as the password.

Example login:

$ ftp surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu

If you are getting files, then

   ftp> cd transfer/outgoing

If you are putting files, then

   ftp> cd transfer/incoming

If you want the directory containing the public distributions of FreeSurfer:

   ftp> cd pub/dist

The dir command will show directory contents. The get command will download a file to your machine.

For those inside NMR center, go to /space/outgoing and put files in its subdirectory. You can get user transfered files from /space/incoming. It takes 5 minutes or so to actually see the files there after the transfer.
