Thank you for your inquiry. We apologize for the delayed response. The tar command can be used on a login node. However keep in mind that login nodes are shared resources and we cannot allow users to run programs on them that take a considerable amount of time to complete or else they would become unusable.We recommend that if you are archiving a significant number of files or files that are large in size that you run a batch job off of a compute node to perform the task.<br /><br />More information on transferring files can be found at:<br /><br />https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/user-services/user-guides/stampede-user-guide#transferring<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Jason Allison - TACC User Services
