The response from the service will be the same as the one we received importing a file.

Much like downloading data, Agave can manage the transfer of data between registered systems. This is, in fact, how data is staged prior to running a simulation. Data transfers are carried out asynchronously, so you can simply start a transfer and go about your business. Agave will ensure it completes. If you would like a notification when the transfer completes or reaches a certain stage, you can subscribe for one or more emails, :raw-html-m2r:`<a href="http://webhooks.org" title="Webhooks" target="_blank">webhooks</a>`\ , and/or :raw-html-m2r:`<a href="#reatime-notifications" title="Realtime Notifications">realtime</a>` notifications, and Agave will alert them when as the transfer progresses. The following table lists the available file events. For more information about the events and notifications systems, please see the :raw-html-m2r:`<a href="#notifications" title="Notifications Guide" target="_blank">Notifications Guide</a>` and :raw-html-m2r:`<a href="#event-reference" title="Event Reference" target="_blank">Event Reference</a>`.

In the example below, we will transfer a file from ``stampede.tacc.utexas.edu`` to ``api.tacc.cloud``. While the request looks pretty basic, there is a lot going on behind the scenes. Agave will authenticate to both systems, check permissions, stream data out of Stampede using GridFTP and proxy it into ``api.tacc.cloud`` using the SFTP protocol, adjusting the transfer buffer size along the way to optimize throughput. Doing this by hand is both painful and error prone. Doing it with Agave is nearly identical to copying a file from one directory to another on your local system.
