Ectrans setup

To create a new association, click the "Add association" button. Choose an Association name, "trajectory" in the example below. This is the name that will be used as association (previously know as 'msuser') with the ectrans command. Fill in the remaining info, giving the required information on your local system.

In the example below, we create an association named trajectory that will be used to transfer files using ftp by default to a local system named "system.meteo.ms" as a user local_UID. The data transferred will be written into the directory /data/trajectory. The local files will have a temporary suffix ".tmp" added to their names during the transfer. Note that you can change the configuration of the ectrans association by modifying the options given in the window titled "Complementary information":

When you have entered all the information for your association, click the button "Create this MS user". A new association has been defined for you. Please note that (between all users) an association name can be defined only once per gateway. You can define more associations, e.g. to transfer files from ECMWF to different systems or other local UIDs. You can also allow other users at ECMWF to transfer files with ectrans to your association. To do this, click the "Grant Association(s)" button:

Select the association to which you want to give access to another user. Enter the ECMWF user name. Then grant the association.

The UID and name of the person you have given access to the association is now added to the list. To remove an entry from the list, click the "Remove from the list" icon on the left:
