globus-url-copy - globus-url-copy

SYNOPSIS

globus-url-copy [options] SOURCE-URL DESTINATION-URL

DESCRIPTION

The globus-url-copy program is a command line tool for multi-protocol data movement. It
supports gsiftp:// (GridFTP), ftp://, http://, https://, sshftp:// and file:/// protocol
specifiers in the URL.

OPTIONS

-help, -usage
Print help.

-versions
Print the versions of all modules that this program uses

-c, -continue-on-error
Do not die after any errors. By default, program will exit after most errors.

-a, -ascii
Convert the file to/from ASCII format to/from local file format

-b, -binary
Do not apply any conversion to the files. default

-f FILENAME
Read a list of URL pairs from filename. Each line should contain sourceURL destURL.
Enclose URLs with spaces in double qoutes ("). Blank lines and lines beginning with #
will be ignored.

-cd, -create-dest
Create destination directory if needed.

-r
Copy files in subdirectories

-fast
Recommended when using GridFTP servers. Use MODE E for all data transfers, including
reusing data channels between list and transfer operations.

-t SECONDS
Run the transfer for this number of seconds and then end. Useful for performance
testing or forced restart loops.

-q, -quiet
Suppress all output for successful operation.

-v, -verbose
Display URLs being transferred

-vb, -verbose-perf
During the transfer, display the number of bytes transferred and the transfer rate per
second. Show URLs being transferred

-dbg, -debugftp
Debug ftp connections. Prints control channel communication to stderr

-rst, -restart
Restart failed ftp operations.

-rst-retries RETRIES
The maximum number of times to retry the operation before giving up on the transfer.
Use 0 for infinite. Default is 5.

-rst-interval SECONDS
The interval in seconds to wait after a failure before retrying the transfer. Use 0
for an exponential backoff. Default is 0.

-rst-timeout SECONDS
Maximum time after a failure to keep retrying. Use 0 for no timeout. Default is 0.

-stall-timeout SECONDS, -st SECONDS
How long before cancelling/restarting a transfer with no data movement. Set to 0 to
disable. Default is 600 seconds.

-df FILENAME, -dumpfile FILENAME
Path to a file where untransferred URLs will be saved for later restarting. Resulting
file is the same format as the -f input file. If file exists, it will be read and all
other URL input will be ignored.

-do FILENAME, -dump-only FILENAME
Perform no write operations on the destination. Instead, all files that would be
transferred are enumerated and dumped to the specified file. Resulting file is the
same format as the -f input file. Note: if you intend to use this file as input for a
future transfer, the -create-dest option will be required if any destination
directories do not already exist.

-rp, -relative-paths
The path portion of ftp URLs will be interpreted as relative to the user’s starting
directory on the server. By default, all paths are root-relative. When this flag is
set, the path portion of the ftp URL must start with %2F if it designates a
root-relative path.

-s SUBJECT, -subject SUBJECT
Use this subject to match with both the source and dest servers.

-ss SUBJECT, -source-subject SUBJECT
Use this subject to match with the source server

-ds SUBJECT, -dest-subject SUBJECT
Use this subject to match with the destination server.

Specify the size (in bytes) of the buffer to be used by the underlying ftp data
channels.

-bs block SIZE, -block-size block SIZE
Specify the size (in bytes) of the buffer to be used by the underlying transfer
methods.

-p PARALLELISM, -parallel PARALLELISM
Specify the number of parallel data connections should be used.

file.

-list URL
List the files located at URL.

-stripe
Enable striped transfers on supported servers.

-striped-block-size, -sbs
Set layout mode and block size for striped transfers. If not set, server defaults will
be used. If set to 0, Partitioned mode will be used. If set to > 0, Blocked mode will
be used, with this as the block size.

-ipv6
Use ipv6 when available (EXPERIMENTAL)

Use UDT, a reliable udp based transport protocol, for data transfers

-g2, -gridftp2
Use GridFTP v2 protocol enhancements when possible.

-dp, -delayed-pasv

GridFTP transfer.

-mp PARAMETERS, -module-parameters PARAMETERS
Set the back-end storage module arguments to use for both the source and destination
in a GridFTP transfer.

-smn NAME, -src-module-name NAME
Set the back-end storage module to use for the source in a GridFTP transfer.

-smp PARAMETERS, -src-module-parameters PARAMETERS
Set the back-end storage module arguments to use for the source in a GridFTP transfer.

-dcstack STACK, -data-channel-stack STACK
Set the XIO driver stack for the network on both the source and the destination. Both
must be GridFTP servers. The stack should contain all network drivers to use, in the
order specified from bottom to top (e.g. -dcstack tcp,gsi). If the gsi driver is not
included in the stack and data channel authentication is enabled, it will be inserted
above the transport driver in the stack.

-fsstack STACK, -file-system-stack STACK
Set the XIO driver stack for the disk on both the source and the destination. Both
must be GridFTP servers. The stack should contain all file system drivers to use, in
the order specified from bottom to top.

-src-dcstack STACK, -source-data-channel-stack STACK
Set the XIO driver stack for the network on the source GridFTP server. See -dcstack
above for description of the STACK string.

-src-fsstack STACK, -source-file-system-stack STACK
Set the XIO driver stack for the disk on the source GridFTP server. See -fsstack above
for description of the STACK string.

-dst-dcstack STACK, -dest-data-channel-stack STACK
Set the XIO driver stack for the network on the destination GridFTP server. See
-dcstack above for description of the STACK string.

above for description of the STACK string.

-cred PATH

-src-cred CRED-FILE, -sc CRED-FILE
Set the credentials to use for source ftp connections.

-dst-cred CRED-FILE, -dc CRED-FILE
Set the credentials to use for destination ftp connections.

-af FILENAME, -alias-file FILENAME
File with mapping of logical host aliases to lists of physical hosts. When used with
multiple concurrent connections, each connection uses the next host in the list. Each
line should either be an alias, noted with the @ symbol, or a hostname[:port].
Currently, only the aliases @source and @destination are valid, and they are used for
every source or destination URL.

-sync
Only transfer files where the destination does not exist or differs from the source.
-sync-level controls how to determine if files differ.

-sync-level number
Criteria for determining if files differ when performing a sync transfer. The default
sync level is 2. The available levels are:

· Level 0 will only transfer if the destination does not exist.

· Level 1 will transfer if the size of the destination does not match the size of
the source.

· Level 2 will transfer if the time stamp of the destination is older than the time
stamp of the source.

· Level 3 will perform a checksum of the source and destination and transfer if the
checksums do not match.
