Hi Lukas, The dirac-dms-replicate-lfn command will always try to do a direct transfer (3rd party copy) between the SEs first before falling back to using the cache file (even if you explicitly include the cache file on the command line). If you're finding it's creating a local cache file, let me know the details (mainly the source & destination sites, although ideally the full output running with "-ddd" debugging flag) and I'll double check how they are configured.

Hello,
I am replicating files from one SE to another with `dirac-dms-replicate-lfn`, and it seems like it is always using a local cache to store the transferred file. Is there any way to tell it to use a direct transfer between the two SEs instead of going via the local machine?
Cheers Lukas
