You will need software that supports secure transfer of files between your computer and the Compute Canada machines. The command line programs <code>scp</code> and <code>sftp</code> can be used from within terminal programs on '''Linux''' or '''Mac''' OS X computers. On '''Microsoft Windows''' platforms, [http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ MobaXterm] offers both file transfer and a [[SSH|terminal function]], while [http://winscp.net/eng/index.php WinSCP] is another free program that supports file transfer. [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY] comes with <code>pscp</code> and <code>psftp</code> which are essentially the same as the Linux and Mac command line programs. | You will need software that supports secure transfer of files between your computer and the Compute Canada machines.

Most Compute Canada legacy systems can be reached with Globus, but not all. | If it takes more than about a minute to move your files to or from Compute Canada servers, you should install [[Globus#Personal_Computers|Globus Personal Connect]] and try [[Globus]] for transfers which can be set up and will then go on in the background without you.
