2. Copy files from other clusters:

• • SABA/LUNA/LUX: 
    To copy files from other clusters, first ssh -A into the other cluster to forward your keys.

    Code Block
    language bash theme Midnight firstline 1 title Command line linenumbers true
    ssh -A $USERNAME@$CLUSTER

    We recommend rsync -va to copy files and directories.

    Make note of the source directory/source files and destination directory/files on Lilac and copy them as below:

    Code Block
    language bash theme Midnight firstline 1 title Command line linenumbers true
    rsync -av --progress $SOURCEPATH lilac:$DESTPATH

    
    

  • HAL:
    Remember that the hal cluster is outside the MSKCC network, and does not have access to lilac. 

    First - Make note of the source directory/source files on HAL and destination directory/files on Lilac:
    

    To transfer data, ssh into lilac as below :

    Code Block
    language bash theme Midnight firstline 1 title Command line linenumbers true
    ssh -A $USERNAME@lilac.mskcc.org

    Then pull files from HAL:

    Code Block
    language bash theme Midnight firstline 1 title Command line linenumbers true
    rsync -av --progress hal:$SOURCEPATH $DESTPATH

    
    
    

    
    

    Tip
    Depending on the size and number of files to copy, you may run multiple rsync commands simultaneously to copy different directories. The HPC private network is faster than the MSKCC campus network, so using short names (lilac, saba, luna, selene, etc.) will often make transfers faster than using fully qualified domain names such as luna.mskcc.org. This does not apply to hal, though
