File size of 0 with dq2_get

WARNING: This page is obsolete.

When I downloaded files using dq2_get on my local machine, the file sizes are 0. However, on lxplus or on another machine, they are non-empty files.

The reason this happens is that you may have a firewall enabled on your local machine. You can test it by disabling the firewall and fetching the files to confirm that dq2_get downloads the files correctly.

If you need to enable the firewall, check (turn-on) the following boxes:

• ssh (trusted services), unless you don't want to let anyone log-in by ssh !
• eth0 (trusted devices)
