Abstract

This document contains the information concerning the libraries provided by the module gLite Data Transfer Url Copy.

Introduction

The purpose of that package is to provide a library for performing url and srm copy trasfers. This library will the be used by the gLite File Transfer Channel Agents, via the TransferSevrice plug-in. In addition, a set of command line tools are provided for performing the transfer from the command line, but please be aware that these tools are for testing/debugging purposes and therefore are not supported for production usage.

Configuration

The library doesn't require any specific configuration in order to be used. Channel policies are implemented in the gLite Transfer Agent configuration

Interoperability

The gLite Data Transfer Url Copy library is able to perform transfers between SRM 1.1 and SRM StorageElements. This is achieved using the gLite Data SRM Util CPP module, that offers an abstraction layer that hides the differences between these two specifications
