        Request a "fast" or "archive" transfer. Archive transfers will use "tar" to put files

        on the source system into an archive, and use tar to extract the archive on the destination

        system. The result of the tar operation is sent directly over the network (there are no

        temporary files created or anything like that). Depending on the archive type specified,

        this transfer could add compression, skip the un-archiving on the destination, or read

        the source from an archive and un-archive them on the destination system. Not all system

        types are supported for all archive type options.


        The source base url will point to the root directory of the transfer on the source system,

        and the destination url will point to the root directory of the transfer on the destination

        system. The url''s are tapis urls. For example - tapis://my-tapis-sys/source_files


        The relativePaths attribute specified which paths to add to the archive. In this way, you can

        select only certain paths within the directory, and not all paths. The paths will be added

        as relative paths (relative to the source base url), so that when they are extracted they can

        be relative to the destination base url. This would give the user the opportunity to change

        what directory the files are stored in on the destination directory.


        The relative paths can be either directories or files. If they are directories, the entire

        contents of the director will be stored. Symlinks are added, but they are not followed.


        ### Archive Types

        | Value | Description |

        |-----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

        | **TAR** | Files are added to a tar archive stream on the source system, and un-archived on the destination system. (only supported for ssh systems) |

        | **TAR_GZIP** | Exactly like **TAR** except that gzip compression is used. (only supported for ssh systems) |

        | **TO_TAR_ARCHIVE** | Files are added to a tar archive stream on the source system, however they are **not** un-archived on the destination system. The archive file is written to the destination system (source system must be ssh system) |

        | **TO_GZIP_ARCHIVE** | Exactly like **TO_TAR_ARCHIVE** except that gzip compression is used. (source system must be ssh system) |

        | **FROM_TAR_ARCHIVE** | The source must be an archive file, and files are un-archived on the destination system. (destination must be an ssh system) |

        | **FROM_GZIP_ARCHIVE** | Exactly like **FROM_TAR_ARCHIVE** except that the source must be a gzipped tar file. (destination must be an ssh system) |'
