  • Globus Data Transfer

    Globus is a simple, reliable, and fast way to access and move your research data between systems. Globus allows you to transfer data to and from systems such as:
    Laptops & personal workstations Rivanna HPC cluster Ivy Central Storage Lab / departmental storage Tape archives Cloud storage Off-campus resources (ACCESS, National Labs) Globus can help you share research data with colleagues and co-investigators, or to move data back and forth between a lab workstation and Rivanna or your personal computer.
    Are your data stored at a different institution? At a supercomputing facility? All you need is your institution’s login credentials.

  • Scratch Recovery with Globus

    Globus is a simple, reliable, and fast way to access and move your research data between systems. Researchers can transfer data from their old scratch directories to new scratch via a single web interface - no software download or installation is necessary.
  • Command Line Data Transfer

    Standard Linux tools can efficiently transfer a small to moderate quantity of data to or from Rivanna.
    scp scp uses the secure shell (SSH) protocol to transfer files between your local machine and a remote host, or between two remote hosts.
    The following syntax enables copying from local to remote or vice versa. In both cases we are starting from the local system.
    By default, scp works from the level of the directory in which it is invoked.
    Copying from local to remote: scp source_file mst3k@hostaddress:target_file Copying from remote to local: scp mst3k@hostaddress:source_file target_file The following examples detail how to transfer data between your local computer and /project storage on Rivanna.

  • Data Transfer

    Efficient and reliable data transfer is a critical component of research computing. A variety of useful tools is available for rapid data transfer, whether you are transferring data from an external site or within different computing environments at UVA. Common Scenarios Transfer public or internal use data between local workstation/laptop and UVA storage Transfer sensitive or highly sensitive data to Ivy storage Transfer data between external institutions/supercomputing centers and UVA Transfer between Rivanna and Cloud storage The data transfer method you choose heavily relies on the data sensitivity classification, where the data are currently located and to where you want to transfer the data.
