transfer and manage files

 GridFTP
transfer large datasets reliably Reliable File Transfer (RFT) Service
maintain location information for replicated files Replica Location Service (RLS)
maintain location information for replicated files via a WS interface WS Replica Location Service (WS RLS)
use a pure Java data service framework for accessing and integrating data resources - such as files, relational and XML databases - on to Grids OGSA-DAI
use a WS interface to both Replica Location Service (RLS) and Reliable File Transfer (RFT) Service in one intregated service (to locate, register replicas AND transfer data reliably) Data Replication Service (DRS)
