NAME

       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

           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.

       -tcp-bs SIZE, -tcp-buffer-size SIZE
           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.

           Set data channel protection mode to SAFE

       -dcpriv, -data-channel-private
           Set data channel protection mode to PRIVATE

           Warning
           Despite having -dcpriv in its command line globus-url-copy will silently fall back to
           an unencryted data channel when connected to a server that does not support data
           channel encryption (e.g. dCache)!

       -off, -partial-offset
           Offset for partial ftp file transfers, defaults to 0.

       -len, -partial-length
           Length for partial ftp file transfers, used only for the source 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)

       -sp COMMANDS, -src-pipe COMMANDS
           Set the source end of a remote transfer to use piped in input with the given command
           line. Do not use with -fsstack.

       -DP COMMANDS, -dst-pipe COMMANDS
           Set the destination end of a remote transfer to write data to then standard input of
           the program run via the given command line. Do not use with -fsstack.

       -pipe COMMANDS
           Sets both -src-pipe and -dst-pipe to the same thing.

       -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.

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

       -cred PATH
           Set the credentials to use for both ftp connections.

       -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. The default algorithm used for this checksum is MD5, but
               other algorithms can be specified with the -algo parameter.

       -checksum-alg CHECKSUM-ALGORITHM
           Set the algorithm type to use for all checksum operations during the transfer.

       -verify-checksum
           Perform a checksum on the source and destination after each file transfer and compare
           the two. If they do not match, fail the transfer. The default algorithm used for this
           checksum is MD5, but other algorithms can be specified with the -checksum-alg
           parameter.

ENVIRONMENT

       The following environment variables are recognized:

       GLOBUS_HOSTNAME
           Overrides client hostname communicated to the server

       GLOBUS_DOMAIN_NAME
           Overrides client domainname communicated to the server

       GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_DATA_IP
           Overwrites client IP address communicated to the server for the data connection. Used
           when the receiver is behind a NAT and should be configured to the external address of
           its gateway.

       GLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_SOURCE_PASV
           Configures sender side (source) instead of receiver side (destination) to open a data
           port and establishes the data connection from the receiver to the sender. By default
           the data connection is established from sender to receiver, but if the receiver is
           behind a NAT this doesn’t work, because the receiver will communicate its own address
           instead of the external address of its gateway to the sender and its own address can’t
           be reached directly from the sender.
