Exchange files between your local computer and the VRLab

To have a remote logon to the VRLab you might use PuTTY to set up an SSH connection.
When running an experiment in DALES it is nice to be able to put your own data via PuTTY in the VRLab and extracting it after the experiment has run.

There is a very convenient program to do so, called WinSCP (https://winscp.net/eng/download.php). Its main function is file transfer between a local and a remote computer.

Once you downloaded WinSCP you can open a new session. Fill in “bastion-grs.vrlab.tudelft.nl” at Host name, and use your normal username and password for the VRLab.

At the left side you now see your local directory and at the right the remote one.

It might be that the directory you want to go is not visible. However if you click on the icon on the right side of the bar that shows the current folder on the remote computer, or use Ctrl+O, you can type the directory that you want.

You can just drag files from one side to the other, or when having to transfer multiple files you can also you synchronise (top left corner or use Ctrl+S). In the pop-up window you can chose in which direction the transfer will occure, etc.
