The Globus GridFTP
GUI is a Java web start application. It provides an easy-to-use interface
for connecting to GridFTP servers and transferring files. The GridFTP GUI has the
following features:
Allows you to browse the local file system and transfer files and
directories between the local system and remote GridFTP servers and between
two remote GridFTP servers (third-party transfers). Supports file system operations such as creating, deleting and renaming
files and directories. Provides reliability by interfacing with the Globus Reliable File
Transfer (RFT) service.
Prerequisites: Supported Platforms: The GUI provides two ways for generating a proxy credential required for the data
transfer: Creating a proxy credential using a locally stored key pair. Obtaining a proxy from a MyProxy Server. For more information about MyProxy,
