File Transfer and Sharing

• LC supports a wide variety of file transfer protocols and tools, including FTP, NFT, HSI, SFTP, SCP, HTAR, Hopper, and give/take.
• If you have multiple groups and/or resources that you manage together or you have a need to share data between teams, the IDM team can create a defined role (also called advanced role-based sharing) for your convenience.
• See File Sharing and Transfer and Using LC File Systems for important usage information.
• If you are a Tri-lab user, please see our Tri-Lab Distance Communication Transfer Tools page.
