Command Reference Guide

Platform LSF Command Reference 271
Always use "/" to transfer files from a UNIX host to a Windows host, or from a
Windows host to a UNIX host. This is because the operating system interprets "\"
and
lsrcp opens the wrong files.
For example, to transfer a file from UNIX to a Windows host:
lsrcp file1 hostA:c:/temp/file2
To transfer a file from Windows to a UNIX host:
c:\share>lsrcp file1 hostD:/home/usr2/test/file2
file_name
Name of source file. File name expansion is not supported.
-h Prints command usage to stderr and exits.
-V Prints LSF release version to stderr and exits.
Examples
lsrcp myfile @hostC:/home/usr/dir1/otherfile
Copies file myfile from the local host to file otherfile on hostC.
lsrcp user1@hostA:/home/myfile user1@hostB:otherfile
Copies the file myfile from hostA to file otherfile on hostB.
lsrcp -a user1@hostD:/home/myfile /dir1/otherfile
Appends the file myfile on hostD to the file otherfile on the local host.
lsrcp /tmp/myfile user1@hostF:~/otherfile
Copies the file myfile from the local host to file otherfile on hostF in user1’s
home directory.
Diagnostics
lsrcp attempts to copy source_file to target_file using RES. If RES is down or fails
to copy the source_file,
lsrcp uses either rsh or the shell command specified by
LSF_RSH in
lsf.conf when the -a option is specified. When -a is not specified,
lsrcp uses rcp.
Limitations
File transfer using lsrcp is not supported in the following contexts:
◆ If LSF account mapping is used; lsrcp fails when running under a different
user account
◆ On LSF client hosts. LSF client hosts do not run RES, so lsrcp cannot contact
RES on the submission host
◆ Third party copies. lsrcp does not support third party copies, when neither
source nor target file are on the local host. In such a case,
rcp or rsh (or the
shell command specified by LSF_RSH in
lsf.conf) is used. If the target_file
exists,
lsrcp preserves the modes; otherwise, lsrcp uses the source_file modes
modified with the
umask (see umask(2)) of the source host.
