Platform LSF Reference
244
Always use "/" to transfer files from a UNIX host to a Windows host, or from
a Windows host to a UNIX host. This is because the operating system
interprets "\" and
lsrcp will open the wrong files.
For example, to transfer a file from UNIX to a Windows host:
% lsrcp file1 hostA:/c:/temp/file2
For example, to transfer a file from Windows to a UNIX host:
c:\share>lsrcp file1 hostD:/home/usr2/test/file2
file_name
Name of source file. File name expansion is not supported.
-h
Prints command usage to stderr and exits.
-V
Prints LSF release version to stderr and exits.
EXAMPLES
% lsrcp myfile @hostC:/home/usr/dir1/otherfile
Copies file myfile from the local host to file otherfile on hostC.
%
lsrcp user1@hostA:/home/myfile user1@hostB:otherfile
Copies the file myfile from hostA to file otherfile on hostB.
% lsrcp -a user1@hostD:/home/myfile /dir1/otherfile
Appends the file myfile on hostD to the file otherfile on the local host.
% lsrcp /tmp/myfile user1@hostF:~/otherfile
Copies the file myfile from the local host to file otherfile on hostF in user1’s
home directory.
DIAGNOSTICS
lsrcp attempts to copy source_file to target_file using RES. If RES is down or fails to copy
the source_file,
lsrcp will use either rsh or the shell command specified by LSF_RSH
in
lsf.conf when the -a option is specified. When -a is not specified, lsrcp will
use
rcp.
LIMITATIONS
File transfer using lscrp is not supported in the following contexts:
◆ If LSF account mapping is used; lsrcp fails when running under a different user
account
◆ On LSF client hosts. LSF client hosts do not run RES, so lsrcp cannot contact
RES on the submission host
◆ Third party copies. lsrcp does not support third party copies, when neither
source nor target file are on the local host. In such a case
rcp or rsh (or the shell
command specified by LSF_RSH in
lsf.conf) will be used. If the target_file exists,
lsrcp preserves the modes; otherwise, lsrcp uses the source_file modes modified
with the
umask (see umask(2)) of the source host.
