GridFTP
Prerequirements needed are:
- A personal X509 certificate, signed by your organization or institute, issued by one of the grid certificate authorities (CAs) that are member of the IGTF or their affiliated registration authorities (RAs) is required for data transfers. Please ask your organisation or institute in order to acquire such a personal X.509 certificate from a Certification Authority and configure it properly on your machine.
- The distinguished name (DN) of your X.509 certificate. After receiving your personal X.509 certificate you need to forward the certificate's DN to the HLRS personnel in order to activate access to our GridFTP servers. To determine the DN, please run:
$ openssl x509 -noout -subject -in <YOUR_PERSONAL_X509_CERTIFICATE_FILE>
- a Linux machine with GridFTP clients installed (a User Interface installable through UMD can make the purpose)
globus-url-copy
globus-url-copy performs a file transfer from a source to a destination endpoint. The usage is:
globus-url-copy [options] <sourceURL> <destURL>
See globus-url-copy -help for more details. An example:
$ globus-url-copy gsiftp://exampleurl.eu/home/users/username/myfile file:///localdir/username/myfile
if the sites allow that, it should be possible to make a third party transfer, namely host client triggering a transfer between two other gridftp servers. Both URIs would use gsiftp: as the protocol:
globus-url-copy gsiftp://host1/source gsiftp://host2/destination
