Transferring data: Difference between revisions

SCP supports an option, <code>-r</code>, to recursively transfer a set of directories and files. We '''recommend against using <code>scp -r</code>''' to transfer data into <code>/project</code> because the setgid bit is turned off in the created directories, which may lead to <code>Disk quota exceeded</code> or similar errors if files are later created there (see [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Disk_quota_exceeded_error_on_.2Fproject_filesystems | Disk quota exceeded error on /project filesystems]]).
