Fellow in the University of Tartu (and use UTHPC services) and would now like to access or upload data to the temporary SFTP account

While the actual data does reside in one of the UTHPC filesystems, the SFTP users are privilege separated from regular cluster users. If you have little amounts of data, you can open a SFTP connection from rocket.hpc.ut.ee to sftp.hpc.ut.ee using the credentials you provided to your colleague.
However, if your data quantities are larger then 5 TB, contacting support@hpc.ut.ee with a request to copy the data is going to be faster and easier. Please also provide a ’source/destination’ path for the files and any ’owner/group’ changes if necessary.
