Using transfer nodes

After SSHing to the transfer node on Farnam, should I initiate an interactive session, or I can simply start downloading files?

Thanks.

Hi @yaroslav.markov,

You can just begin downloading data, though we encourage you to do so in a tmux session.

The transfer partition you can submit slurm jobs to is currently best suited for non-interactive transfers, e.g. staging data and transfers as job dependencies.

Thanks, @brevans ! tmux looks very useful!
