Example Listing

tgcp large file

Transfer of a large file from NCSA to SDSC using the TeraGrid copy (tgcp) tool.

  • Passing the -big option to tgcp tells it to employ striping.
  • The URL sytax is more relaxed here. Basically, you get the third party benifits without all the typing.
  • Notice that the full globus-url-copy comand is printed. This is a good way to develop globus-url-copy commands.
