                  Copying files from FNALD to cdfsga
                  ==================================


On the FNALD VMS cluster, one needs to modify the file 
   SYS$LOGIN:.RHOSTS 
to include the line:

cdfsga.fnal.gov username

Then, please set the file protection with the following command on FNALD:

$ SET SECURITY /PROTECTION=(SYSTEM,OWNER:RWED,GROUP,WORLD) .RHOSTS

This needs be done only once, (and username should be replaced 
with your username).





To copy a file (including files of YBOS data) from FNALD to
cdfsga, one can use the rcp command, for example:

> rcp FNALH:'USR$SCRATCH:[WICKLUND]61271_26785.STRA_5F' 61271_26785.stra_5f

Note that standard CDF analysis control jobs will recognize input data
in both VMS and UNIX formats.



A common problem occurs when the SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM on FNALD fails
to execute under rcp.   If this occurs, adding the line
$ If F$MODE().Eqs."OTHER" Then Exit
at the top of SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM will usually help.

A less common problem can occur when the username on FNALD is not 
the same username as on cdfsga.  An example of such a mismatch in
usernames is OWENL on FNALD and owen on cdfsga.   In this case, 
please contact the FNALD system managers and ask for the mapping between
the two different usernames to be added to the MULTINET tables on FNALD.
