Remote Access

Conveniently access your files on MOGON from your local computer.

Virtual Private Network
If you are located outside of the University Campus, you first have to create a VPN connection as explained in this article .

Accessing home and project directories

MOGON’s filesystems GPFS and Lustre can be mounted under Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. Follow the step-by-step instructions for your respective operating system.

ShareHostFilesystemDescription
homemogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.deGPFSHome directory
projectmogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.deLustreProject directories of all groups except those that have a separate share (atals, icecube, na62, tronhpc, jgu-cbdm)
  1. Open a Shell
  2. Use the command
    gio mount smb://<username>@mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/<username>
    to access your home directory.
  3. Next, you will be asked for the domain. Confirm UNI-MAINZ with Enter.
  4. Now, you will be asked to enter the password for your JGU account.

After this you should see the contents of the folder in your file manager, e.g. Dolphin.

Chances are, that some gio versions will show Domain [WORKGROUP]: rather than Domain [UNI-MAINZ.DE]:. In this case try entering UNI-MAINZ manually (without the .DE-string). Check the working of your VPN, first.

Access shares

gio mount smb://<username>@mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/<share>

or

gio mount smb://<username>@mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/<share>

e.g.:

gio mount smb://<username>@mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/project
gio mount smb://<username>@mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/project

Access the Share via Shell

You can find the share under the following path:

/run/user/<uid-number>/gvfs/smb-share:server=mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de,share<username>,user=<username>

you can use tab completion once you are in the folder /run/user/. If you are not sure which <uid-number> you have you can check it calling id <username>.

Open in Terminal

Alternatively you can open the file manager of your OS, browse to the mounted share, right click on a folder and then on Open in Terminal.

  1. Press +E to open a File Explorer window.
  2. Find and choose This PC/Dieser PC from the left side of the File Explorer window.
  3. Click on Map network drive/Netzwerklaufwerk verbinden.

Usage on MOGON II

You can access the Lustre filesystem in the same way as described above by entering the corresponding address.

\\mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de\<username>
\\mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de\project

For the login information, please enter the user name in the following format:

uni-mainz.de\<username>

  1. Open Finder and press Cmd-K to connect to a remote server.
  2. In the window that appears enter the Host name and click Connect. Displayed above is an example for Lustre.

To access GPFS, you have to provide the Host mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de.
