 +===== How to deal with large video files.  ===== 
 +As of 27/Aug/2018, an 1 hour video from iPlayer at the best quality costs about 2.4GB. With SRCF, you get only 1GB [(https://www.srcf.net/faq/managing-account)] of storage quota - I am not sure if you want to email the sysadmin to increase the quota. I prefer to to save my file elsewhere on the Internet. I do this my using ''sshfs''. SSHFS allows me to mount a remote storage server to SRCF, so when I download files, they get transferred to my storage server.

 +Copy the output to notepad, and save it as a text file, send it to your storage server operator. This is the preferred way of doing things, because a lot of instant messaging software corrupts the long text string. 
  
 +The output of your ''id_rsa.pub'' should look like this: 
 +<code bash>
 +ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDOR6on6Yfjc0h7dqdiMbmbHpGbKXGYt44thV94aMVKCS+JUR+QlMUxO+gL6vYt+Cjx0IoMg7c/v0hoXeUDaGMhzsy7QiCXJy1i+cHsr0y9DS2qaDTV3/jaSryysXjRKSN+OZnjD7UmHdkFuwUfKNJv7T1xlskO6qD4AScEG8mej8DprPmC1MTGVi9GjJJRA+ZO0xwL8CiCqOYp/a2dK7aV0gd1LuwvFQ0U+Cgho2geBe/ED7Ac82BhdZbinr4PGFyi21dY7Dtx930oqV59SdqhIpWzOOCUsx81HoRuX2087dgCZBmIX2Wg+/pR+tslVxEVZwvrQWYNwVQhFuaNlWSj fangfufu@smithsonian
 +</code>
  
 +<note warning> 
 +DO NOT DISCLOSE THE CONTENT OF id_rsa TO OTHER PEOPLE, INCLUDING YOUR SYSADMIN!
 +</note>
 +
 +As a reminder, public key authentication comes in two keys - the public key and the private key. The public key can be shown to everyone, it is used for encryption. The private key is used for decryption. Therefore you can show your public key to everyone, but you need to keep your private key secret. ''id_rsa.pub'' contains the public key, while ''id_rsa'' contains the private key.
 +
 +==== Using SSHFS ====
 +After logging into SRCF, to mount a remote folder locally, do the following:
 +<code bash>
 +sshfs fangfufu.co.uk:/home/USERNAME mnt
 +</code>
 +
 +This assumes that you are at your home directory, if you are not, you can always change into your home directory by typing in: <code bash>
 +cd ~
 +</code>
 +
 +Note that ''mnt'' is the directory which you set to store your file in your previous section. This will effectively change ''mnt'' folder into an anchor point for your remote storage location. Everything you write into ''mnt'' will be transferred to your remote server. 
 +
 +When you are done, you should disconnect the SSHFS, by doing the following:
 +<code>
 +fusermount -u mnt
 +</code>
