Intro to Data Transfer with ARCC

Introduction: This workshop will introduce the core concepts behind options for data storage and transfers to and from ARCC resources. After going through this workshop, participants should have a better understanding of the tools available to transfer data from their local desktop to ARCC resources as well as different types of storage systems. Covered in this workshop are the risks involved with data storage and transfer, best practices to mitigate associated risks, options available for transferring data between ARCC resources, how to determine which options work best, and how to use different options. Examples will be given for both Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) as well as Command Line Interfaces (CLI). These topics are modular and do not need to followed in order, so please feel free to jump to the topic you are most interested in.
