Message definition (General directives for migration)
If Globus is not supported at your source site, then compressing data and avoiding duplication is even more important. If you are using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy scp], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol sftp], or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync rsync], then:
* Make a schedule to migrate your data in blocks of a few hundreds of GBs at a time. If the transfer stops for some reason, you will be able to try again starting from the incomplete file, but you will not have to re-transfer files that are already complete. An organized list of files will help here.
* Check regularly to see that the transfer process has not stopped. File size is a good indicator of progress. If no files have changed size for several minutes, then something may have gone wrong. If restarting the transfer does not work, contact our [[technical support]].

If Globus is not supported at your source site, then the advice to compress data and avoid duplication is even more important. If you must use one of scp, sftp, or rsync, then:

  • Make a schedule to migrate your data in blocks of a few hundred GB at a time. If the transfer stops for any reason you will be able to try again starting from the incomplete file, but you will not have to re-transfer files that are already complete. An organized list of files will help here.
  • Check regularly to see that the transfer process has not stopped. File size is a good indicator of progress. If no files have changed size for several minutes, then something may have gone wrong. If restarting the transfer does not work, contact support@computecanada.ca.

Globus is a file transfer service
