RFT is used to perform third-party transfers across GridFTP servers. It uses a database to store its state periodically so the transfers can be recovered from any failures. RFT uses standard grid security mechanisms for authorization and authentication of the users. In order to effectively use RFT you should have installed and configured a database with RFT database schemas and have the necessary security infrastructure in place to perform a 3rd party transfer.
