Many of these operations can be done recursively. For authentication, ADA supports X509, tokens (macaroons and OIDC) and basic auth (username/password), depending on the dCache configuration.

When something goes wrong, Ada tries to provide clear, understandable and useful error messages, so you can help yourself, or otherwise your support team will be able to help you better.

* ADA does not transfer files; we suggest you use [Rclone](https://rclone.org/) for that.
32
+
* ADA can upload and download files, but not in bulk, and it's not as efficient as [Rclone](https://rclone.org/).

* ADA depends on dCache. The dCache system you work with may have limitations that impact ADA.

* Ada is currently implemented in bash. Bash has limitations; for instance, trying to stage more than 1500 files in a single operation may fail.
