Transfering files from Windows to Linux

Cause

Use the following mechanisms in order to transfer files between local (submission) host and remote (execution) host:

1. lsrcp: is an LSF enabled remote copy program that transfer a single file between hosts. If LSF is not installed on a host or if RES is not running then lsrcp uses rcp to copy the file. It's necessary to keep in mind that both the source and target file must be owned by the user who issues the command.

lsrcp from Windows to Unix
C:\LSF_9.1>lsrcp LSF_redist.txt supp11:/home/asameem/files/

[root@supp11 files]# cd /home/asameem/files
[root@supp11 files]# ls -ltr

2. bsub -f: LSF supports the transfer of job data between the submission host and the execution host as part of the job through the -f of bsub. Operators are used to copy files before the job starts or after the job is completed, based on your requirements.

bsub -f from Windows to Unix
C:\LSF_9.1>bsub -q admin -f "C:\\LSF_9.1\\LSF_redist.txt > supp11:/home/asameem/files/outputfile2" dir
Job <115> is submitted to queue <admin>.

[root@supp11 files]# ls -ltr
