UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

In other words ssh without passwd works then...
The question about space is more a question of your It background. In Windows all what a user load is in his "home"... on UNIX admin tend to give little space to home directory (usually on boot disk...) and allocate big data filsesystems (usually other disks -external or SAN...)
e.g.

Code:

/dev/vg00/lvol4     350000  208585  133532   61% /home
/dev/esvg01/lvol4  12288000 1107688 10831594    9% /data/save
/dev/esvg02/lvol1  33792000 30027888 3707232   89% /data/rec
/dev/esvg01/lvol3  30720000 26867580 3792252   88% /data/prd/pool
/dev/esvg03/lvol1  16384000 3073888 12894188   19% /export/hpux/10.20

Where were you trying to load your files then?

I was trying to load them into /home/[user]/[path]. When that didn't work, I tried /shared/[user]/[path]. Neither worked, makes me think maybe there isn't enough space allocated to my user ID.

The server is a high-end 64-node 768-core HPC cluster with 12 Intel X5650 cores, 500 GB storage, and 48 GB RAM per node. In other words, it's a million-dollar machine.

What OS are you using?

If it were an HP I would have said to type bdf
But I doubt... (doesnt look very Itanium ...)
try

Code:

df -k 
# or 
df -m

to list the present filesystems ( and size etc...)

Just realized does exist?

Yes. I created the directory.

It turns out that I have 512 MB in /shared/ and 512 MB in /home/ for my account. Good news is, I petitioned for expanded storage, and my request was filled. I now have 300 GB in /home/. What's more, the core problem with scp has been resolved. I will now proceed to transfer the files.
