ssh - Reading netCDF files stored on a remote filesystem in R? -


i need read netcdf file r stored on remote filesystem. have ssh access filesystem, files big store onto local computer.

i have tried advice here: can r read file through ssh connection? tried following:

library(ncdf) d = open.ncdf(pipe('ssh hostname "path/to/file/foo.nc"'))

however, keep getting error

bash: path/to/file/foo.nc: permission denied

any ideas on how fix this?

it not possible open file directly within r using ssh, there few options available you.

1. mount remote server local filesystem on ssh.

there packages let mount remote machines local filesystems on ssh; on linux, example, might use sshfs whereas on windows might use win-sshfs. once you've mounted remote file system, able access netcdf files r other file, although i'm not sure performance implications may be.

2. break larger files down smaller files.

use command-line ncdump utility, on server, create smaller files large files able fit on local file system.

$ ncdump -v [var1],[var2] big.nc > smaller.cdl

smaller.cdl text file; can generate binary netcdf .nc file using ncgen:

$ ncgen -b -o smaller.nc smaller.cdl

3. use opendap service on remote server.

unless remote server set provide opendap service, overkill. if is, may use combination of r's opendap access , netcdf's opendap subset service retrieve data subsets on fly. can use ncdump on local machine request subset of data server.

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...
