gLite File Transfer Service FTS knowledge base
CSCS specific information
The service for incoming transfers into CSCS is operated by
GridKa. The channel's name is
STAR-CSCS
and the FileTransfer endpoint is at
https://fts-fzk.gridka.de:8443/glite-data-transfer-fts/services.
Local channel managers:
PeterKunszt,
FrederikOrellana,
DerekFeichtinger.
There is a special, dedicated channel from CSCS into CERN that has been established for SC4, because it makes debugging easier:
The channel's name is
CSCS-CERN and the associated endpoint is
https://prod-fts-ws.cern.ch:8443/glite-data-transfer-fts/services.
Local channel manager:
DerekFeichtinger.
Endpoints for all centers can be found on
this LCG wiki page. This is important
for now, since the
glite-transfer-discovery
command mentioned below is not available/functional in our current version.
There is a
separate page about our
debugging efforts of the CSCS related channels hosted by FZK.

Things to know
The documentation is quite unorganized as of May29 2006. It is important to note
that all of the (good) documentation is in the man pages of the
glite-transfer-
executables.
So the best way of getting to know how to use the FTS is to list all glite-transfer commands
and reading through their man pages.
A very important tool to know is called
glite-transfer-discovery
which will look in the
information system trying to find the FTS endpoint that needs to be contacted to run the
given transfer.
