Dear all,<br><br>I have a question about use of grads with remote data. <br>I mean I know I can use gradsdods with dods servers, but<br>can I use a version of grads that can work with data from my data_server?<br>es. I don't know if it's the right way to use ssh,but I can't access to data-server without ssh<br>
is it possible to write some comand line as following <br> grads<some-version> "sdfopen ssh -p port user@${server_address} $folderdata}${fileYMD}.grb"<br><br></blockquote><div><br>This is not currently possible with grads, although a Java version under development may provide this functionality at some point You can always set your DISPLAY environment variable and run grads on your server, displaying the graphics on your client desktop. Another possibility that may require some modest technical skill to setup is to use a user-land file system such as sshfs (google for "sshfs", it is based on a software called FUSE). In a nutshell, here is how it works: you mount your remote file system on local directory and open the files with grads as if they were local files. With sshfs you do not need any special software running on the server, just ssh access to it. Performance varies compared to opendap, depending on the particular operations you perform; I'd say it is usable, but not extremely fast. You can use a similar technique with a ftpfs based on ftp; google is your friend.<br>
