Transferring data
This is an overview of how to transfer data to or from the Savio high performance computing cluster at the University of California, Berkeley.
When transferring data using file transfer software, you should connect only to Savio's Data Transfer Node, dtn.brc.berkeley.edu. (Note: if you're using Globus Connect, you'll instead connect to the Globus endpoint ucb#brc)
After connecting to Savio's Data Transfer Node, you can transfer files directly into (and/or copy files directly from) your Home directory, Group directory (if applicable), and Scratch directory on Savio.
When transferring a large number of files and/or large files, we recommend you use:
- Globus Connect (formerly Globus Online): This method allows you to make unattended transfers which are fast and reliable. For basic instructions, see Using Globus Connect with Savio.
You can additionally use GridFTP or BBCP for this purpose ...
When transferring a modest number of smaller-sized files, you can also use:
- SFTP: For basic instructions, see Using SFTP with Savio via FileZilla.
- SCP: For basic instructions, see Using SCP with Savio.
You can additionally use Rsync and certain other data transfer tools for this purpose ...
- Box: For basic instructions, see: Transferring Data Between Savio and Your UC Berkeley Box account.
Additional tutorials for transferring files to/from Google Drive, Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3, and other popular data storage sites are in planning or development. If you have any interest in working on or testing one of these, or have suggestions for other data transfer tutorials, please contact us at [email protected].
