File Transfer

Hi,

have to copy files multiple times around 2 TB between 2 environments . the destination volume is a CIFS share and NFS mount.

we thought of using winSCP . but SFTP is not supported on Netapp CDOT.

any workaround??

thanks

or robocopy or rsync etc etc..

If not doing a SnapMirror, XCP definitely would work.

oh yeah... that snapmirror thing. 😬

data transfer responsibility is with business/application. So snapmirror or XCP cannot be used.

U can use any tools or apps to perform the copy. The key things is to have access to files especially talking about mixed env(NFS/CIFS).

ensure that multi-protocol is configured properly and name mapping works .
