ARCC Tested Data Transfer Clients

As mentioned above, ARCC has tested the following clients and can provide some support for users of these clients:

  • MobaXTerm - is a Windows only client that can be used for ssh logins as well as many other protocols, but is also an excellent SFTP client.

  • Cyberduck - is another client that can be used by Windows and Mac, that we frequently use for working with data on our Pathfinder system due to how well it works with the S3 protocol, but can use many other protocols

  • Cloudberry - is another Windows and Mac client that can use the S3 protocol, but requires a license to take advantage of it’s full functionality.
