[Testbed-admins] Getting user files into Experiments



I've gotten our emulab back on its feet and have people interested in using it (good deal!), but something puzzles me. I know that, as stated in the docs:

"Each project has its own directory, rooted at /proj, which is available via NFS to all of the nodes in experiments running in that project."

This makes sense for the nodes INSIDE emulab, but how are users generally supposed to get files from OUTSIDE emulab into the /proj and /users directories to begin with? They can't login directly to boss, since by default they don't appear to have a human-usable login shell (/etc/passwd shows /usr/testbed/sbin/paperbag as their login shell.)

Are the users supposed to access these mounts via NFS access directly to ops?

Am I missing something here?
