  • Source a grid UI, usually off /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/:
    For SL6:
     source /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/umd-sl6ui-test/etc/profile.d/setup-ui-example.sh 

    For SL7:
     source /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/umd-c7ui-test/etc/profile.d/setup-c7-ui-example.sh 
  • Get a proxy for your VO with the lcgadmin role:
    voms-proxy-init --voms your_VO:/your_VO/Role=lcgadmin
  • Use gsissh to access the upload node:
    gsissh -p 1975 cvmfs-upload01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk

    You will see a link called 'cvmfs_repo'. If you cd into it, you should see your VOs code.
  • Use gsicp to copy files onto the node. (Note the upper case 'P'.)
     gsiscp -P 1975 myfile cvmfs-upload01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:./cvmfs_repo/myfile
