I don’t know if I correctly understand you. In my case, I use a script for TPC copying, and I do this in the script xrdcp --server -f $src root://$XRDXROOTD_PROXY/$dst Here XRDXROOTD_PROXY is actually the hostname pointed by the pss.origin (which I guess is the CEPH storage in your case). Does this address your problem? The name XRDXROOTD_PROXY is misleading. I though Andy was going to it a new name… -- Wei Yang | [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> | 650-926-3338 (O) From: Giuseppe <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: xrootd/xrootd <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, June 7, 2018 at 2:08 AM To: xrootd/xrootd <[log in to unmask]> Cc: Subscribed <[log in to unmask]> Subject: [xrootd/xrootd] RFE: TPC should support the case of a destination xrootd running on top of external storage (Ceph) (#729) As discussed with @simonmichal<https://github.com/simonmichal>, we have the case of xrootd servers that run as gateways in front of a Ceph storage (but for the context of this issue, this can be any external non-local storage). The current TPC runs in such a way that the destination pulling the file, for efficiency reasons, uses a stripped-down URL for the destination, which does not include the server (root://localhost...) and instead only includes the file path. This makes such a case of xrootd gateways break as the file path cannot be interpreted as a local path. A possible solution is to have the destination server choose (e.g. by a configuration option) whether to use a local path or a full root URL: that would allow forcing the traffic to go through the xrootd local server, which already knows how to forward it to the external storage. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
