Comprehensive File Management Portlet
The Comprehensive File Management Portlet enables users to
list files on remote resources, upload and download files
to and from remote resources, and transfer files between
remote resources.
The portlet allows two side-by-side directory listings, allowing
a user to list files on both the source and destination hosts of
the transfer.
The portlet can be configured to run in the following 2 modes:
- GridFTP Mode - this mode requires only GridFTP to be installed
on the remote resources. It gives you the basic portlet functionality
which includes upload, download, and file transfer. The portlet
currently supports GridFTP from Globus v2.4, v3.2.1, and v4.0.1.
- Comprehensive File Transfer Mode - this mode uses the
Comprehensive File Transfer (CFT) service
and allows advanced functionality which enables batch file transfer
and obtain transfer status and performance information.
If can also be configured to use the
GridPort Information Repository (GPIR)
service, which enables the portlet to estimate transfer
times by utilizing data obtained from the
Network Weather Service.
