CIFS Access

CIFS Access

Overview

CIFS (Common Internet File System) allows you to mount remote storage directly on your local computer, making it accessible like a network drive.

General Project Space (/gpfs/projects)

🛑 Currently Unavailable

Mounting SeaWulf project directories (/gpfs/projects/) via CIFS is currently disabled. If you require a directory mounted on your local machine, please use the RPX Project Space option described below.

RPX Project Space

If you need a shared directory that can be mounted as a network drive on your local machine (Windows, macOS, or Linux), you must use RPX. Please submit a ticket to request an RPX Project Space.

⚠️ Important Limitation: Unlike General Project Space, RPX directories are NOT accessible via SeaWulf. RPX is designed strictly for storage, local mounting, and external sharing.

Note: CIFS access is best suited for lightweight editing and file management. For transferring large datasets, scp, rsync, or Globus are more efficient.
