gfal-copy is a tool used to transfer big files from one CMS site to another. The source and destination addresses look like protocol://host[:port]/path, see gfal2-util doc and repository for details.

This is just a note for myself. The following are the addresses that I always use (with the GridFTP protocol):

• LPC: gsiftp://cmseos-gridftp.fnal.gov//eos/uscms/store/user/...
• UF: gsiftp://cmsio.rc.ufl.edu//cmsuf/data/store/user/...

A quick way to find out these addresses is to check the CMS FTS monitoring website.

• If you have the ‘fts_id’ of a job, you can use it in the following URL: https://fts3.cern.ch:8449/fts3/ftsmon/#/job/fts_id
