Transferring files from local Reading-based workstation disks /var/tmp or /hugetmp

Direct transfers from your workstation to the spaces in Bologna are discouraged, since they would not use the dedicated network link between the two data centres and transfer rates will be poor. Instead, you may force the transfers to jump through ecgate for best results. For example, to transfer a directory and its contents under your local disk onto the PERM space in Bologna:

user@leap42-workstation:~> rsync -av -e "ssh -o ProxyCommand='ssh -q -x -W %h:%p ecgate'" /var/tmp/user/mydataset aa-login:/perm/user/mydataset
