The following commands are used to retrieve files from DKRZ to local disk

1. Retrieves a single file from Remote gsiftp source to local disk target.

• bdmclient -s gsiftp://cmip2.dkrz.de:2812//gpfs_750/test/new_drs/cmip5/output/MPI-M/ECHAM6-MPIOM-TR/amip/6hr/atmos/6hrPlev/r1i1p1/v20100928/psl/psl_6hrPlev_ECHAM6-MPIOM-TR_amip_r1i1p1_197901010000-197912311800.nc -t file:////tmp/bdmtest4/get.test

2. Retrieves a single directory recursively from Remote gsiftp source to local disk target with multiple concurrency.

• "-symlink option" is need to support transfer soft links.
• bdmclient -sd gsiftp://cmip2.dkrz.de:2812//gpfs_750/test/new_drs/cmip5/output/MPI-M/ECHAM6-MPIOM-TR/amip/6hr/atmos/6hrPlev/r1i1p1/v20100928/psl -td file:////tmp/bdmtest4 -symlink -recursive -concurrency 10

3. Retrieves all the files listed in the input file and overwrites any existing files at the local disk target.

• bdmclient -f sample.xml -overwrite -concurrency 5
• For more formats of input file, please refer to this link: BDMOptions.

4. The current BDM implementation supports "GET" transfers from gsiftp source to local disk target.

• single file transfers
• directory transfers recursively or non- recursively
• an input file containing multiple files and checksum values for comparison
• third party transfer support is being implemented.
