Copying Files from Place to Place

Motivation: I want to be able to easily copy files between Manchester and SLAC. I also have loads of files at Oxford. Both Manchester and Oxford prohibit the use of ftp/telnet into their sites, so it's a bit messy shifting files around. And I'm bored looking the instructions up every time. Things to include

rsync
- from local to remote
- from remote to local
- from remote to remote?
rcp - details? - Andy?/Alessandra?
webpage downloads - include must setup permissions - and recommend unsetting them afterwards
permissions
- chmod
- ls -l (unix)
- mkdir - default will be setup-dependent
- my "permit" script

Instructions from "using_jonf_software_notes.html"

Once root files were being created, copied across to /u06/usersdb/jenny/root using command:

kiwi@noric05$ rsync -ravze ssh . jenny@sun1.hep.man.ac.uk:/u06/usersdb/jenny/root/

Output:

jenny@sun1.hep.man.ac.uk's password: 
building file list ... done
./
TauQEDalleventsKanga_set1_offpeak-1.root
TauQEDalleventsKanga_set1_onpeak-1.root
<etc...>

Another example: Copied a file dec00_talk.ps from Manchester to SLAC starting in the directory on sun1 where the file was, and copying to my home directory at SLAC with:

rsync -ravze ssh ./dec00_talk.ps kiwi@noric.slac.stanford.edu:~/

Manchester has rsync on sun1, and can also run it from SLAC, with a command more like:

rsync -ravze ssh
kiwi@noric01.slac.stanford.edu:/the/path/to/the/files/ /u06/usersdb/jenny/root/
