Description

What would you like to see added?

Move the Data Transfer section currently located in the Remote Access page to the main Data Transfer tools page.

  • As this section discusses command-line tools (scp, sftp), it may be particularly useful for GPFS5 users.

  • Points for discussion:

    • Would performing large data transfers using these tools(scp or sftp) impact the Cheaha login node? Any recommended alternatives for handling large transfers?
    • Could rsync be a better option for parallel? Does this impact the Cheaha login node?

Research direction

Start by comparing the Data Transfer section in the Remote Access page with the main Data Transfer tools page. Move the section to the transfer page, remove the duplicate from Remote Access, and resolve or document the questions about scp, sftp, and rsync for large transfers and login-node impact.
