The files you transfer over to the remote machine will all end up
in the same working directory so something like this in the job
submission script should work:


Executable = runmodel.bat
TransferInputFiles  = C:\Model.exe C:\inputFile.mat
ShouldTransferFiles  = YES
WhenToTransferOutput = ON_EXIT
transfer_output_remaps = "outputFile.mat = C:\outputFile.mat"

where you write a DOS batch file "runmodel.bat" to be

 Model.exe -p inputFile.mat -o outputFile.mat

as you'll be running in a directory specific to your job on the
remote execution node, so everything is relative.
