Notes about grid-ftp
The primary repository of grid-ftp is http://www.globus.org/toolkit/downloads/latest-stable/
where you can find
the source code and the instruction to compile . Moreover on
this repository: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
you can find the rpm packages that you can install with the
command:
yum install globus-gass-copy-progs
The typical commands to copy a file is:
globus-url-copy -vb file:/root/MYFILE ftp://evlbi:PASSWORD@tank-0.ira.inaf.it/subdir
Between nodes on our LAN we get a speed of 50 MByte/sec.
Working between far nodes to get the best performances you can
consider to use the -p (pallalel) and -tcp-bs (tcp
buffer size). You can find more help at the site http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/3.2/gridftp/user/globusurlcopy.html
.
Moreover you can transfer between two remote servers:
globus-url-copy -vb ftp://evlbi:PASSORD@tank-Mc.ira.inaf.it/space1/MYFILE
\
ftp://evlbi:PASSWORD@tank-0.ira.inaf.it/space0/MYFILE
