Gfal utils

As example you can use the gfal utils to interact with it; most used commands are:

  • gfal-ls: List information about the files
  • gfal-xattr: Display attributes of a file or set them to a new value
  • gfal-cat: Concatenate file to standard output
  • gfal-mkdir: Create the DIRECTORY(ies), if they do not already exist
  • gfal-copy: Copy files
  • gfal-stat: Display extended information about a file or directory
  • gfal-chmod: Change the permissions of a file
  • gfal-rename: Renames SOURCE to DESTINATION
  • gfal-sum: Calculates the checksum of the specified file, using a specified checksum algoritm
  • gfal-rm: Removes each specified file or directory
  • gfal-save: Reads from stdin and writes to a file until it finds EOF

Some examples:

gfal-ls srm://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444/muoncoll

gfal-copy <file.name>  srm://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444/muoncoll/

gfal-rm srm://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444/muoncoll/<file.name>
