One of the QMUL users wanted a local copy of files from the grid.
In the end, it was easiest for me to use rsync, but is there a simple
way of doing:
lcg-cp srm://my.se/vo/path/to/directory /mymachine/path/localdirectory
Ideally multithreaded and only copying files if they don't already exist
(probably checksumming to check they are the same)?
Ideally this would allow multiple files to download at once.
Assuming such a thing doesn't exist, would it be worth writing, or are
we so near webdav access that rsync on a webdav mounted filesystem would
be the way to go?
On which subject, is there a multistream rsync?
