**Note**: For larger transfers between Atlas and UL HPC Clusters, you may want to run the operations in background using `screen` or `tmux`. These prevent interruption of data transfer in cases when your `ssh` connection gets interrupted.
## 3. Via Large File Transfer (LFT)
An alternative solution is to use LFT for transferring data between Atlas and UL HPC Clusters, which can transfer high data volumes of several terabytes. However, LFT should only be used, if data is already on LFT (e.g. received by external collaborators). In this case, you can make a copy of the data and directly upload it to the UL HPC Clusters for computational analysis. A master copy of the data must then be manually uploaded to Atlas for internal archival.
