Rsync

Transfer Your Data to the Cluster

We recommend that you use the rsync command with these options for the best results:

rsync -rltvPh /source/path <username>@lewis.rnet.missouri.edu:/storage/hpc/data/<username>/destination/path

Note: You should run this command from a terminal where the files originate
and not from the Lewis login node.

Here are what the various flags mean:

  • -r: recursive
  • -l: links
  • -t: time
  • -v: verbose
  • -P: progress
  • -h: human readable

Example:
