We have a massive output file that took hours to run (a list of R objects). How do we save it? And how do we save the workspace? I'm working on the servers... Thanks! John

Hey John, You can save whatever output as part of the workspace. I've not really heard of saving output separate from the workspace image, although you can save a subset of objects as an .Rdata file rather than the entire workspace. Alternatively, you could export individual dataframes into other file formats using the "foreign" library. Saving your workspace on the server is no different from saving it locally. Set your working directory, then type: save.image("filename.Rdata") To save individual objects type: save(objectx, file="filename.Rdata") Then you can easily email the files to yourself from a web browser (just type "firefox" in the terminal).
