You can use the MDAS Terminals (alt*, sbt*) to copy (transfer) 
your data from the MDAS to an external HDD/flash memory with USB connection, 

Some disk areas (/lwk and /ext_nfs*) are mounted on the MDAS terminals.

For data in the home area of ​​the analysis server (mana*), please connect 
to an analysis server from an MDAS terminal and transfer the data.(*)

(*)
Remote login to the MDAS terminals is not allowed.
Your operations should be performed on an MDAS terminal to transfer 
your data from an analysis server.

(e.g.)
　[hogehoge@sbt14 ~]: cd /run/media/hogehoge/Data_disk
　[hogehoge@sbt14 ~]: scp -r mana01:~hogehoge/data .

To copy data with user privileges, it may be necessary to format 
an external HDD/Flash memory on a terminal.
