Both scp and sftp are universally available in NICS systems. We strongly recommend using other transfer tools like gridftp or bbcp that make a better usage of the network bandwidth yielding higher transfer rates.
In case you have shell commands in your shell initialization files, you will need to modify your files with code as follows, in order for scp to work.
The following code is Bourne-shell compatible:
TTY=`/usr/bin/tty` if [ $? = 0 ]; then /usr/bin/echo "interactive stuff goes here" fi
The following code is C-shell compatible:
( /usr/bin/tty ) > /dev/null if ( $status == 0 ) then /usr/bin/echo "interactive stuff goes here" endif
