Faster file transfers on Biowulf (Biowulf)

A modified version of the 'scp' file transfer program
called 'scp-hpn' is now available for download.  Installing
scp-hpn on your Linux workstation or server will allow
significantly increased file transfer speeds to/from the
Biowulf login node.  Testing by the Biowulf staff has 
achieved average data transfer rates of over 100 MB/s on 
1 Gb/s network paths.

You can download scp-hpn from http://biowulf.nih.gov/hpn.tar.gz, 
place the hpn.tar.gz file in the top level of your home directory 
on your Linux workstation or server and run the command 
"tar xfvz hpn.tar.gz".  See the README file included in the 
distribution for additional details.  Note that this program is
not available for Windows or MacOS.
