How do you access the UNIX server?
Is the HDD connected to said server or somewhere else?
If somewhere else, what OS is running there?

The server can be connected via SSH, SCP, and window explorer from my PC.
Basically what I'm looking for is that after getting the results (doing calculation in a server), I'd like to copy the result files to my PC automatically and analyze the results in my pc. Analyizing the results through a network is a kind of painful in terms of speed and loads.
I found some examples copying from a server to another, but not this kind.
