+
+File Transferring with HCC Supercomputers
+-----------------------------------------
+
+### Using MobaXterm
+
+MobaXterm allows file transfering in a 'drag and drop' style, similar to WinSCP. MobaXterm also allows editing of files from a built in text editor or an editor of your choice already installed on your local machine. 
+
+**Uploading from local to remote**
+
+
+
+The above example transfers a folder from a local directory of the your computer to the `$HOME` directory of the HCC
+supercomputer, Crane. Note that you need to replace `<group name>`
+and `<username>` with your HCC group name and username. 
+{{< figure src="/images/moba/upload.png" height="450" >}}
+**Downloading from remote to local**
+
+
+
+The above example transfers a folder from the `$HOME` directory of
+the HCC supercomputer, Crane, to a local directory on 
+your computer.

+**Editing remote files**
+
+By double clicking on a file in the toolbar of the left, you are able to open the file in the editor from MobaXterm.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/moba/defaulttext.png" height="450" >}}
+
+There is the option to use your own choice of editor already installed on your local machine. Under the `General` Tab in MobaXterm's settings, set the path of the editor's installation.
+
+{{< figure src="/images/moba/editor.png" height="450" >}}
+
+In the example above, Notepad++ is used as the choice editor. Once the editor is selected, it becomes the default editor for double clicking files and editing.
+
+**Generating SSH Keys**
+
+With Anvil, you will need to generate SSH keys in order to access your instances. These are able to be generated in MobaXterm. 
+
+{{< figure src="/images/moba/menussh.png" height="450" >}}
+
+In the Generator window, click `Generate` and move your mouse around in the `Key` box randomly to generate the key. 
+
+{{< figure src="/images/moba/genssh.png" height="450" >}}
+
+After the key is generated, go to the `Conversions` tab and select `Export OpenSSH key` and save it to your local machine. 
+
+{{< figure src="/images/moba/exportssh.png" height="450" >}}
+**Treat the private key file the same as you would a password.  Keep your private key in a secure location and do not share it with anyone.**
