While there are multiple methods to access your files on the Data Portal, one of these methods is using a file browser such as Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder on your local computer. This type of connection allows interactive access to these files and relies on the SMB protocol. ARCC does support this protocol for access to the Data Portal, but please be aware that SMB has some limitations on data transfer speeds and Windows based permissions. By default, ARCC does NOT enable SMB on MedicineBow (non-backed up HPC storage) projects, but does on alcova (backed up storage) projects.
