For large files (100G+), you can use additional parameters with rsync to shorten the time to resume transfer after rsync transfer was interrupted.
Please see two factor authentication wiki page for details.
Note two factor authentication has been enabled on Nov 4, 2019.
check rsync man page for options and examples.
use cwRsync client for command line on Windows.
from command line on Linux, Mac, or MobaXterm terminal to issue rsync command.
compression option, "-z", might not shorten the transfer time.
by default, files transferred over SSH which uses only one data stream and not very fast.
by default, transfer is over SSH protocol, so data stream is encrypted.
synchronize files/dirs of two directories (local-local, local-remote, remote-local).
resume file transfer for partial transferred file.
By default, rsync uses the SSH remote shell. Rsync is a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool and recommended when relatively few differences exist between target and source versions, because rsync copies only the differences of files that have actually changed. To find the up-to-date path of lftp, first run "module load lftp" on Terra login nodes, then run "which lftp" to find the path of lftp.
On FTN nodes, you can lunch lftp via absolute path (Terra: /sw/eb/sw/lftp/4.8.4-GCCcore-6.4.0/bin/lftp).
Run "module load lftp" to load the module.
lftp is available on Grace/Terra as a module.
#Cyberduck sftp works flow does not work password#
FTP protocol doesn't encrypt password and data transfer, thus less secure.
data stream is not encrypted, thus data transfer rate is faster than SCP/SFTP.
FTP client offers an interactive interface (command line) to download/upload files.
Users should choose FTPS, whose password is transferred over encrypted channel, whenever possible. FTP protocol transfers user name, password, and data unencrypted.
#Cyberduck sftp works flow does not work how to#
Please see two factor authentication wiki page on how to use two factor for some software listed above.įile Transfer Protocol (FTP) protocol is used to transfer files between a client a server.
check scp man page and sftp man page for options and examples.
To by pass this problem, use rsync or use data transfer nodes ("" for Terra, "", "" for Grace), which do not have CPU time limit. Your data transfer might get interrupted for moving large amount of data.
HPRC cluster login nodes have 60 minutes CPU time limit.
Also, check instructions on using SCP/SFTP software with Duo. See instruction on file transfer from Windows.
#Cyberduck sftp works flow does not work windows#
use WinSCP on Windows, FileZilla (use SFTP protocol) on Windows or Mac, or use File Transfer panel on MobaXterm.
#Cyberduck sftp works flow does not work mac#
you can use command line on Linux, Mac or MobaXterm terminal to issue scp/sftp command.
not very fast (file transfer only uses one data stream over SSH protocol).
sftp offers an interactive interface (command line) to download/upload files.
SCP and SFTP protocols are a means of securely transferring computer files between a local host and a remote host.
use endpoints: "TAMU terra-ftn" for Terra cluster, and "TAMU grace-dtn" for Grace cluster.
Globus Connect software is supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
visit Globus Connect wiki page for more information.
by default, data stream is not encrypted encryption has been turned on by default as of Jan 14, 2021.
your server or desktop/laptop must have Globus Connect software installed and setup as an endpoint.
receive a email notification after a scheduled transfer is completed.
can sync directories (similar to rsync).
personal endpoint works behind NAT (Network Address Translation like your desktop behind a wifi router at home).
transfer files between two endpoints (for example, between Grace and Terra, or between Grace and endpoint on your laptop).
it's fast (utilizing up to 4 data streams) as fast as the slowest link from your server/desktop/laptop to HPRC fast transfer nodes.
transfer large amount of data (say 100+ GB).
The endpoint can be systems with Globus installed (like terra-ftn) or user's personal desktop. Users can schedule transfer via a web interface on and receive notification after transfer is completed. Globus Connect is a reliable, high-performance file transfer platform allowing users to transfer large amounts of data seamlessly between systems or endpoints. If the data size is small (transfer time is less than an hour), just pick a software convenient/familiar to you. The choice is largely depending on many factors, such as size, location, transfer frequency, etc. There are several options for choosing a software to transfer files to and from HPRC clusters.
