OOD File Explorer#

When working with the resources in OOD, your files are stored in your home directory on the storage space on the Discovery cluster. Like any file navigation system, you can work with your files and directories through the OOD Files feature, as detailed below. For example, you can download a Jupyter Notebook file in OOD that you have been working on to your local hard drive, rename a file, or delete a file you no longer need.

Note

Your home directory has a file size limit of 75GB. Please check your home directory regularly, and remove any files you do not need to make sure you have enough space.

  1. In a web browser, go to ood.discovery.neu.edu. If prompted, enter your MyNortheastern username and password.

  2. Select Files > Home Directory. The contents of your home directory display in a new tab.

  3. To download a file to your hard drive, navigate to the file you want to download, select the file, and click Download. If prompted by your browser, click OK to save your file to your hard drive.

  4. To navigate to another folder on the Discovery file system, click Go To, enter the path to the folder you want to access and click OK.

Note

From the Files > Home Directory view, the Edit button will not launch your .ipynb file in a Jupyter Notebook. It will open the file in a text editor. You must be in Jupyter Notebook to launch a .ipynb file from your /home directory. See Interactive Open OnDemand Applications to access a Jupyter Notebook through OOD.
