* Package name : globus-gass-transfer * URL : http://www.globus.org/api/c-globus-4.2.1/globus_gass_transfer/html/index.html * License : Apache 2 Programming Lang: C/C++ Description : Globus Toolkit - Globus Gass Transfer The Globus Toolkit is an open source software toolkit used for building Grid systems and applications. It is being developed by the Globus Alliance and many others all over the world. A growing number of projects and companies are using the Globus Toolkit to unlock the potential of grids for their cause. . The GASS Transfer API is the core part of the GASS (Global Access to Secondary Storage) component of the Globus Toolkit. The purpose of GASS is to provide a simple way to enable grid applications to securely stage and access data to and from remote file servers using a simple protocol-independent API. . The GASS Transfer API provides a way to implement both client and server components. These share common data block and request management functionality. Client-specific functions are provided to implement file "get", "put", and "append" operations. Server-specific functions are provided to implement servers which service such requests. Client and server functionality can be included in a single application, so one could implement proxies or cross-protocol bridges. . The GASS Transfer API is easily extensible to support different remote data access protocols. The standard Globus distribution includes client-side support for the http, and https protocols, as well as server-side support for the http and https protocols. An application which requires additional protocol support may add this through the protocol module interface. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
