<h1>globus gass copy Documentation</h1><h3 class="version">5.4 </h3><p>The Globus GASS Copy library is motivated by the desire to provide a uniform interface to transfer files specified by different protocols. The goals in doing this are to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide a robust way to describe and apply file transfer properties for a variety of protocols. These include the standard HTTP, FTP and GSIFTP options. Some of the new file transfer capabilities in GSIFTP are parallel, striping, authentication and TCP buffer sizing.</li>
<li>Provide a service to support nonblocking file transfer and handle asynchronous file and network events.</li>
<li>Provide a simple and portable way to implement file transfers.</li>
</ul>
<p>Any program that uses Globus GASS Copy functions must include "globus_gass_copy.h".</p>
