Hi Wilko, Ok, thanks. Once I turn off the async I/O on the server the following works: [csfd] ~/work > xrootd/bin/xrdcp root://noric01.slac.stanford.edu:2525//usr/work/elmer/deepcopy16.02E.root . as it should. I still have the problem where: [csfd] ~/work > xrootd/bin/xrdcp root://noric01.slac.stanford.edu:2525//usr/work/elmer/deepcopy16.02E.root bogus.root Error Is a directory creating bogus.root creates a directory. (Clearly a separate problem.)
