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 part by part. 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
