The ectrans command allows you to transfer files
securely between ECMWF and remote sites. Like the UNIX "rcp"
command, ectrans requires no password to be specified for
the remote host: the ECaccess gateway performs the security
checking. Unlike standard FTP, ectrans is suitable for
unattended file transfers in scripts, cron jobs, etc., as it avoids
the problems inherent in storing passwords in text files and
sending passwords across networks.
Even if you don't have a local gateway installed, you can
benefit from the ectrans command by using the ECMWF ECaccess
gateway. Please note that in this case the transfer is not as
secured as when a Member State ECaccess gateway is used.
