Hi,

You can tell Condor to automatically transfer all files when a job is finished. Does Condor provide a feature to access files while a job is still running? Or are Condor administrators supposed to use an external solution such as NFS? Are you aware of any alternative solutions?

The condor_chirp program can be run from the job, and can transfer files from the job's sandbox back to the submit machine (or vice versa).

The condor_tail command can be run from the execute machine, and return parts of the job's standard output file, or other output file while the job is running.
