Suitable use | The SHARCNET data transfer node (dtn.sharcnet.ca) is designed for high throughput access to Sharcnet filesystems without having to use a cluster's login node. Currently, the dtn has direct access to the following sharcnet filesystems:
/home/username Unlike on login nodes, file transfer processes on dtn are not limited in their CPU usage, so large transfers are possible. To encourage higher throughput beyond normal scp/sftp, the following file transfer tools are available:
HPN-SSH: PSC's modified ssh server and client that will transfer files up to 1Gb/s. You must be running hpn-ssh on the cliet side to make use of its extended features. Gridftp: If you have a GridCanada certificate from Westgrid, then dtn.sharcnet.ca can be used directly by as a file target, or by setting up an endpoint in your Globus online account. BBCP client: high throughput transfer tool from Stanford. Any question on the use of dtn.sharcnet.ca can be directed to help@sharcnet.ca. |
