Mounting /tigress, /projects and /scratch/gpfs to your local machine
Mounting /projects and /tigress
For Linux and Mac Computers
You can mount /tigress/<YourNetID> to your local machine by using this address:
smb://tigress-cifs.princeton.edu
For mounting /projects use this address:
smb://tigress-cifs.princeton.edu/fileset-<directory>
For instance, if you are trying to mount /projects/ATURING then use:
smb://tigress-cifs.princeton.edu/fileset-aturing
For Windows Computers
For instance, use this base address:
\\tigress-cifs.princeton.edu
Mounting /scratch/gpfs
Users can mount /scratch/gpfs for Della and Tiger using the following addresses.
For Linux and Mac Computers
# for Della smb://della-cifs.princeton.edu/<YourNetID> smb://della-cifs.princeton.edu/<YourGroupFilesetName> # for Tiger smb://tigress-cifs.princeton.edu/tiger-scratch/<YourNetID>
On macOS creating the mount can be done by choosing "Go" > "Connect to Server ..." in the Finder menu. Then enter the address and choose "Connect". You will need to enter your Princeton NetID and password.
For Windows Computers
# for Della \\della-cifs.princeton.edu\<YourNetID> \\della-cifs.princeton.edu\<YourGroupFilesetName> # for Tiger \\tigress-cifs.princeton.edu\tiger-scratch\<YourNetID>
Other cases
The above instructions (using tigress-cifs or della-cifs) can only be used for /tigress, /projects, or /scratch/gpfs for Della and Tiger.
To mount /home/<YourNetID> or /scratch/gpfs/<YourNetID> for another cluster, you will need to use a tool like sshfs.
For macOS we recommend FUSE for OSX. Once the software is installed, the mounting can be done by running the following commands on your local machine (e.g., laptop):
$ mkdir mymount $ sshfs [email protected]:/home/aturing mymount
