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.

url, defaults the full 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)
-udt
Use UDT, a reliable udp based transport protocol, for data
transfers
-g2, -gridftp2
Use GridFTP v2 protocol enhancements when possible.
-dp, -delayed-pasv
Enable delayed passive.

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

destination. Both must be GridFTP servers. The stack should contain
all file system drivers to use, in the order specified from bottom

-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.

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

server. See -dcstack above for description of the STACK string.

-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.
