Abstract

The GridFTP by Allcock, W. (2003) protocol defines a general- purpose mechanism for secure, reliable, high-performance data movement. GridFTP has been widely used for efficiently transferring large volumes of data. It is based on the Internet FTP protocol and thus involves two communication channels: a control channel and a data channel. The commands and responses flow over the control channel, and the data is transmitted over the data channel.
