Hi, I've been using globus-url-copy for a couple of months between two RHEL5.5 servers connected over a high latency low bandwidth link. We are using sshftp and udt packets and it works great to improve performance when compared to sftp or scp. The issue we are having now is, we have many small files that come into an "outbox" at various times and we need to send them as soon as they show up, but we are taking a very large performance hit from ssh because it has to establish the initial connection every time. Is there a way to essentially get a persistent globus-url-copy tunnel open and we can just drop files into it whenever they show up so we can avoid the initial handshake every time?
Thanks, Dan
