~/xrootd/bbcp -z -T /usr/local/bin/bbcp -s 64 -P 2 -f grenier@noric09.slac.stanford.edu:notes.txt notes.txt

Some notes from Wei:

1. bbcp uses ssh. So one can avoid typing password by adding your CERN ssh public key to SLAC's authorized key file (~/.ssh/authorized_keys)

2. I am using 64 streams, which is the maximum.

3. -P 2 is not necessary unless you want to see the process bar.

...

The number of "optimal" streams varies, and is influenced by the size of the tcp buffers. More streams can actually hurt performance.

There are some tuning suggestion available at: http://pcbunn.cithep.caltech.edu/bbcp/using_bbcp.htm
