i’m trying to use the xrdcp command using the infiles argument… but i’m completely lost…

suppose I have a list of files from a server, and it’s absolute path (excl. the server / root-shebang) is stored in “files_to_copy”, can I trigger some sort of intelligent copy? If so, how does that work… I can’t find much documentation on the use of xrdcp —infiles… can you provide *any example?*?

my alternative is to loop over the files_to_copy and run xrdcp on each file… but that seems silly and it’s pretty slow...

Specifically, I have stuff like this

/path/dir1/file1

/path/dir2/file2

/path/dir3/file3

etc.

and that’s supposed to go to

$(pwd)/file1

what’s the most efficient way to do this?

Thanks!
