procedure to copy files to CERN CASTOR
May 19th, 20091. make a directory in the castor area and give it the right permissions (gets the correct mapping):
nsmkdir /castor/cern.ch/user/u/user/a nschmod 775 /castor/cern.ch/user/u/user/a
2. Use lcg-cp or srmcp:
lcg-cp -v --vo cms file:////data/user/job/LM1_SUSY_Tree.root srm://srm-cms.cern.ch:8443/castor/cern.ch/user/u/user/a/LM1_SUSY_Tree.root
or
srmcp -srm_protocol_version=2 -use_urlcopy_script=true -urlcopy=${SRM_PATH}/sbin/url-copy.sh
file:////data/user/job/LM1_SUSY_Tree.root
srm://srm-cms.cern.ch:8443/castor/cern.ch/user/u/user/a/LM1_SUSY_Tree.root
