Convert the file to/from ASCII format to/from local file format

-b, -binary

Do not apply any conversion to the files. *default*

-f filename

Read a list of url pairs from filename. Each line should contain sourceURL destURL. Enclose URLs with spaces in double qoutes ("). Blank lines and lines beginning with # will be ignored.

-cd, -create-dest

Create destination directory if needed.

-r

Copy files in subdirectories

-fast

Recommended when using GridFTP servers. Use MODE E for all data transfers, including reusing data channels between list and transfer operations.

-t transfer time in seconds

Run the transfer for this number of seconds and then end. Useful for performance testing or forced restart loops.

-q, -quiet

Suppress all output for successful operation

-v, -verbose

Display urls being transferred

-vb, -verbose-perf

During the transfer, display the number of bytes transferred and the transfer rate per second. Show urls being transferred

-dbg, -debugftp

Debug ftp connections. Prints control channel communication to stderr

-rst, -restart

Restart failed ftp operations.

-rst-retries retries

The maximum number of times to retry the operation before giving up on the transfer. Use 0 for infinite. Default is 5.

-rst-interval seconds

The interval in seconds to wait after a failure before retrying the transfer. Use 0 for an exponential backoff. Default is 0.

-rst-timeout seconds

Maximum time after a failure to keep retrying. Use 0 for no timeout. Default is 0.

How long before cancelling/restarting a transfer with no data movement. Set to 0 to disable. Default is 600 seconds.

-df FILENAME, -dumpfile FILENAME

-do FILENAME, -dump-only FILENAME

Perform no write operations on the destination. Instead, all files that would be transferred are enumerated and dumped to the specified file. Resulting file is the same format as the -f input file. Note: if you intend to use this file as input for a future transfer, the -create-dest option will be required if any destination directories do not already exist.

-rp, -relative-paths

Enable striped transfers on supported servers

-striped-block-size, -sbs

Set layout mode and blocksize for striped transfers. If not set, server defaults will be used. If set to 0, Partitioned mode will be used. If set to >0, Blocked mode will be used, with this as the blocksize.

-ipv6

Use ipv6 when available (EXPERIMENTAL)

-cache-daa, -cache-dst-authz-assert

-pipeline, -pp

Enable pipelining support for multi-file ftp transfers. Currently third-party transfers benefit from this. *EXPERIMENTAL*

-concurrency, -cc

Number of concurrent ftp connections to use for multiple transfers.

-nl-bottleneck, -nlb

Use NetLogger to estimate speeds of disk and network read/write system calls, and attempt to determine the bottleneck component

-src-pipe, -SP command line

Set the source end of a remote transfer to use piped in input with the given command line. Do not use with -fsstack

Set the XIO driver stack for the network on the destination GridFTP server.

-dst-fsstack, -dest-file-system-stack

Set the XIO driver stack for the disk on the destination GridFTP server.

-cred path to credentials or proxy file

Set the credentials to use for both ftp connections.

-src-cred CRED-FILE, -sc CRED-FILE

Set the credentials to use for source ftp connections.

-dst-cred, -dc path to credentials or proxy file

Set the credentials to use for destination ftp connections.

-af filename, -alias-file filename

File with mapping of logical host aliases to lists of physical hosts. When used with multiple conncurrent connections, each connection uses the next host in the list. Each line should either be an alias, noted with the @ symbol, or a hostname[:port]. Currently, only the aliases @source and @destination are valid, and they are used for every source or destination url.

-sync

Only transfer files where the destination does not exist or differs from the source. -sync-level controls how to determine if files differ.

-sync-level number

Choose critera for determining if files differ when performing a sync transfer.

Level 0 will only transfer if the destination does not exist.

Level 1 will transfer if the size of the destination does not match the size of the source.

Level 2 will transfer if the timestamp of the destination is older than the timestamp of the source.

Level 3 will perform a checksum of the source and destination and transfer if the checksums do not match.

The default sync level is 2.
