File Transfers

rsync

Transferring data to/from Klone (Hyak) with rsync

rsync is a file transfer program and is the recommended file transfer program for Roberts Lab member. It copies specified files/folders from one location to another. Importantly, it verifies data integrity after the files have been transferred. This feature is critical, due to the large file sizes we frequently work with.

Copy files to Klone:

rsync --archive --progress --verbose /path/to/file/on/your/computer/file.txt <UW_NetID>@klone.hyak.uw.edu:/gscratch/scrubbed/<UW_NetID>/directory

Copy entire folder to Klone (it is important to make sure there is no / at the end of the remote path):

Navigate to the directory immediately above the one which you are interested in copying and then run the following command):

rsync --archive --progress --verbose --relative ./directory <UW_NetID>@klone.hyak.uw.edu:/gscratch/scrubbed/<UW_NetID>/directory

Copy files from Klone:

rsync --archive --progress --verbose <UW_NetID>@klone.hyak.uw.edu:/gscratch/scrubbed/<UW_NetID>/file.txt /path/to/local/directory
