Copying files to from CSCS machines

Method 1: Copy to the home directory which is mounted on Ela and Piz Daint (host nodes)

scp files [email protected]:~

Beware: quotas apply. A different solution is required.

Method 2: Hop over ELA to/from the /scratch partition on Piz Daint (available on host and compute nodes)

tar -zcvf - files | ssh ela.cscs.ch "ssh daint \"cd /scratch/snx1600/username; tar -zxvf -\""

ssh ela.cscs.ch "ssh daint \"cd /scratch/snx1600/username; tar -zcvf - files\"" | tar -zxvf -

Method 3: Copying with GridFTP.

I have never done this, but our storage people assure us this should work. See this presentation (you might have to download it in "Raw" format):
