At IU, how do I access the MDSS?

A number of methods are available for transferring data to and from the Massive Data Storage Service (MDSS) at Indiana University. These include Kerberos-enabled FTP, parallel FTP (pftp_client), Hierarchical Storage Interface (HSI), secure FTP (SFTP), secure copy (scp), SMB/CIFS/Windows file sharing (SMB), and, with a web browser, https.
