Aloisio, Giovanni; Cafaro, Massimo; Epicoco, Italo Early experiences with the GridFTP protocol using the GRB-GSIFTP library. (English) Zbl 1042.68516 Future Gener. Comput. Syst. 18, No. 8, 1053-1059 (2002). The ISUFI/High Performance Computing Centre is actively experimenting with a grid infrastructure connecting sites located both in Europe and in the USA. This paper reports on our feasibility study related to the use of the GridFTP protocol for high performance data transfers. We also describe a client library we are developing to provide additional services beyond those provided by the Globus ftp client library and to ease code development.
