 Scratch space is only mounted on nodes associated with the cluster. If you want to be able to transfer files to the scratch space you will want to run an [[techstaff:slurm#interactive_jobs|interactive shell]]. Now you will be able to use standard tools such as ''%%scp%%'' or ''%%rsync%%'' to transfer files.
-  * You should only do a file transfer via the debug partition.
+  - You should only do a file transfer via the debug partition: ''%% srun -p debug --pty --mem 500 /bin/bash%%''
-<code> srun -p debug --pty --mem 500 -t 0-00:30 /bin/bash</code>
+  - Now you can create a directory of your own: ''%%mkdir /scratch/$USER%%'' You should store any files you create in this directory.
+== Example ==
+Request interactive shell
+<code>user@csilcomputer:~$ srun --pty --mem 500 /bin/bash </code>
+Change into my scratch directory:
+<code>user@research2:~$ cd /scratch/user/</code>
+Get the files I need:
+<code>
+user@research2:/scratch/user$ scp user@csilcomputer:~/foo .
+foo                         100%  103KB 102.7KB/s   00:00
+</code>
+Check that the file now exists:
+<code>
+user@research2:/scratch/user$ ls -l foo
+-rw------- 1 user user 105121 Dec 29  2015 foo
+</code>
+I can now exit my interactive shell.
