SCP

Secure copy protocol (SCP) is a means of securely transferring data between a local host and a remote host or between two remote hosts. It uses Secure Shell (SSH) for data transfer and uses the same mechanisms for authentication, thereby ensuring the authenticity and confidentiality of the data in transit. A client can send (upload) files to a server, optionally including their basic attributes (permissions, timestamps). Clients can also request files or directories from a server (download). 

SCP is installed system wide and does not require a module to be loaded.

Rclone

Rclone is a command line program to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. More details available on the Rclone page.

Globus

Globus is a third party web based tool to manage transfer of data between two gridftp endpoints. Sol and Hawk do not have a gridftp endpoint so you cannot transfer data from external sources directly to your home directory. Instead, you need to first transfer data either to your local system or to Lehigh's Data Transfer Node (DTN) and then transfer to Sol using either scp, sftp or rsync as described above. More details are available on the Globus page.
