Pipelet PDF Task

" This process only works for server-side pipelets, and not with pipelets executed in the context of the data loader directly (using its pipelets.json )."

This is from the “How to Access File Contents in Pipelets” section in the Squirro docs. Does this mean that in the task “Pipelets - Trial and Configure”, where I need to write a pipelet that can handle files in an item (in PDF format), needs me to access the server?

If so, looking at the corresponding section of the docs regarding accessing the server, it doesn’t seem to have a complete guide on how to access it. It just says to ssh into the server, but no details on it. Is this something that needs to be requested in order to gain access to it or have I not understood this correctly?

Thanks
