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 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
-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
-p PARALLELISM, -parallel PARALLELISM
Specify the number of parallel data connections should be used.

Turn third-party transfers off (on by default).
-nodcau, -no-data-channel-authentication
Turn off data channel authentication for ftp transfers.
-dcsafe, -data-channel-safe
Set data channel protection mode to SAFE
-dcpriv, -data-channel-private
Set data channel protection mode to PRIVATE
-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 blocksize 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 blocksize.
-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
-mn, -module-name gridftp storage module name
Set the backend storage module to use for both the source and destination in a GridFTP transfer
-mp, -module-parameters gridftp storage module parameters
Set the backend storage module arguments to use for both the source and destination in a GridFTP transfer
-smn, -src-module-name gridftp storage module name
Set the backend storage module to use for the source in a GridFTP transfer
-smp, -src-module-parameters gridftp storage module parameters
Set the backend storage module arguments to use for the source in a GridFTP transfer

-dmp, -dst-module-parameters gridftp storage module parameters
Set the backend storage module arguments to use for the destination in a GridFTP transfer
-aa, -authz-assert authorization assertion file
Use the assertions in this file to authorize the access with both source and dest servers
-saa, -src-authz-assert authorization assertion file

Cache the src authz assertion for subsequent transfers
-cache-daa, -cache-dst-authz-assert

-pipeline, -pp
Enable pipelining support for multi-file ftp transfers. Currently third-party transfers benefit from this. *EXPERIMENTAL*
-concurrency, -cc
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
-src-pipe, -SP command line

-dst-dcstack, -dest-data-channel-stack
Set the XIO driver stack for the network on the destination GridFTP server.
-dst-fsstack, -dest-file-system-stack
Set the XIO driver stack for the disk on the destination GridFTP server.
-cred path to credentials or proxy file
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, -dc path to credentials or proxy 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 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.
o Level 0 will only transfer if the destination does not exist.
o Level 1 will transfer if the size of the destination does not match the size of the source.
o Level 2 will transfer if the timestamp of the destination is older than the timestamp of the source.
o 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.
