## 1. Via laptop using `scp` or `rsync`
When using the UL laptop to transfer data between UL HPC Clusters and Atlas, you must [mount Atlas via smb on laptop](https://service.uni.lu/sp?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0010233) before using `scp` and `rsync` for the transfer. While both commands ensure a secure transfer of data between the UL HPC Clusters and Atlas, `rsync` may be much faster for handling large amounts of small files (which are transferred very quickly in batches), and for selective incremental updates of large datasets (it is capable to automatically transferring only the changed files, thus saving time).
*`scp`: transfers all files and directories.
*```rsync```: transfers only the files which differs between the source and the destination.
*`rsync`: transfers only the files which differ between the source and the destination.
Please visit the [UL HPC documentation](https://hpc-docs.uni.lu/data/transfer/#data-transfer-tofromwithin-ul-hpc-clusters) to see how to use ```rsync``` and ```scp```.
