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 transfer time in 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 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 interpereted 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 destionation server

       -len, -partial-length
           Length for partial ftp file transfers, used only for the source url, defaults the full file.

           conncurrent 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
           Choose critera for determining if files differ when performing a sync transfer.

           •   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 timestamp of the destination is older than the timestamp of the
               source.

           •   Level 3 will perform a checksum of the source and destination and transfer if the checksums do
               not match.

               The default sync level is 2.
