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

	   Use this subject to match with the destionation 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

	   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

	   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.
