<div class="textblock"><p>The GASS Transfer API is the core part of the GASS (Global Access to Secondary Storage) component of the Globus Toolkit.The purpose of GASS is to provide a simple way to enable grid applications to securely stage and access data to and from remote file servers using a simple protocol-independent API.</p>
<p>The GASS Transfer API provides a way to implement both <a class="el" href="group__globus__gass__transfer__client.html">client</a> and <a class="el" href="group__globus__gass__transfer__server.html">server</a> components. These share common data block and request management functionality. Client-specific functions are provided to implement file "get", "put", and "append" operations. Server-specific functions are provided to implement servers which service such requests. Client and server functionality can be included in a single application, so one could implement proxies or cross-protocol bridges.</p>
<p>The GASS Transfer API is easily extensible to support different remote data access protocols. The standard Globus distribution includes client-side support for the http, and https protocols, as well as server-side support for the http and https protocols. An application which requires additional protocol support may add this through the <a class="el" href="group__globus__gass__transfer__protocol.html">protocol module interface</a>.</p>
<p>The GASS Transfer API is defined in the header file "globus_gass_transfer.h"</p>
<p>The <a class="el" href="group__globus__gass__transfer__activation.html#ga3c4edff0d27f1038ef7d8df297d205ea" title="Module descriptor.">GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_MODULE</a> must be activated before calling any functions in this API.</p>
