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

       -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

           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

           set to 0, Partitioned mode will be used. If set to > 0, Blocked mode will be used, with this as the
           block size.

           Number of concurrent ftp connections to use for multiple transfers.

       -nl-bottleneck, -nlb
           Use NetLogger to estimate speeds of disk and network read/write system calls, and attempt to
           determine the bottleneck component.

       -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.
