  Description     : Globus Toolkit - Globus Gass Copy

 The Globus Toolkit is an open source software toolkit used for
 building Grid systems and applications. It is being developed by the
 Globus Alliance and many others all over the world. A growing number
 of projects and companies are using the Globus Toolkit to unlock the
 potential of grids for their cause.
 .
 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:
  * 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.
  * Provide a service to support nonblocking file transfer and handle
    asynchronous file and network events.
  * Provide a simple and portable way to implement file transfers.
