GSI SSH
From PHASTA Wiki
gsissh is a patched version of ssh which uses X.509 certificates to do authentication rather than traditional rsa keys or passwords. It is included in the Globus toolkit and available on several of the larger compute clusters.
Getting your Certificate (short term)
myproxy-logon -s myproxy.teragrid.org -l matthb2 -T -b
With rsync
Generally using GridFTP will work better, but for small files sometimes rsync is nearly as good:
export RSYNC_RSH="gsissh" rsync -avzc kraken-gsi.nics.utk.edu:/lustre/scratch/bmatth ./
