  Description     : Globus Toolkit - GridFTP Client Library

 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.
 .
 This package contains the GridFTP Client Library. It provides a
 convenient way of accessing files on remote FTP servers. In addition
 to supporting the basic FTP protocol, the FTP Client library supports
 several security and performance extensions to make FTP more suitable
 for Grid applications. These extensions are described in the Grid FTP
 Protocol document.
 .
 In addition to protocol support for grid applications, the FTP Client
 library provides a plugin architecture for installing application or
 grid-specific fault recovery and performance tuning algorithms within
 the library. Application writers may then target their code toward the
 FTP Client library, and by simply enabling the appropriate plugins,
 easily tune their application to run it on a different grid.
