An open source data transfer tool kit for research data
Abstract
We present the prototype of an open source data transfer tool kit. It provides an easy to use ‘drag-and-drop’ web interface for users to transfer files between institutions that do not have a grid infrastructure in place. The underlying technology leverages standard grid technologies. e.g. automatic generation of X.509 certificates, but remains completely hidden from the user.
