### Choosing the best transfer method
| **Scenario** | **Recommended Method** | **Reason** |
| ------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Small dataset, Linux/macOS | `rsync` | Resume support, skips existing files, works over SSH |
| Quick one-time small transfer | `scp` | Simple syntax, no need to install extra tools |
| Large dataset, high speed needed (not sensitive) | FTP via `login002` | Fastest transfer speed (unencrypted data channel) |
| Large dataset, high speed needed (sensitive data) | FTP via `login001` | Encrypted control & data channels for security, but slower than `login002` |
| Windows interactive GUI transfer | WinSCP | User-friendly interface, PSI Software Kiosk, supports drag-and-drop |
| Cross-platform interactive GUI transfer | FileZilla | User-friendly interface, works on Linux/macOS/Windows, supports drag-and-drop |
| From the internet to PSI | [PSI Data Transfer Service](https://www.psi.ch/en/photon-science-data-services/data-transfer) | Supports SSH-based protocols and Globus |
| Need for sharing large files | [SWITCHfilesender](https://filesender.switch.ch/filesender2/?s=upload) | Supports sharing large file and expiration date |
| PSI -> Merlin7 over FTP | Any FTP-based client | Port 21 allowed from PSI to Merlin7 |
| PSI -> Merlin7 over SSH | Any SSH-based method | Port 22 allowed from PSI to Merlin7 |

A `vsftpd` service is available on the login nodes, providing high-speed transfers. Choose the server based on your **speed vs. encryption** needs:
* **`login001.merlin7.psi.ch`:** Encrypted control & data channels.
**Use if your data is sensitive**. **Slower**, but secure.
* **`login002.merlin7.psi.ch`:** Encrypted control channel only.
* **`ftp-unencrypted03.merlin7.psi.ch`: Encrypted control channel only.
Use if your data can be transferred unencrypted. **Fastest** method.
