GridFTP and the history of fast file transfer
Original: GridFTP: A Brief History of Fast File Transfer (2024)
The Globus project has published a retrospective on GridFTP, the high-performance file transfer protocol developed for moving massive scientific datasets between research facilities. The piece traces the protocol's origins in grid computing and its continuing role in data-intensive physics and other large-scale science, prompting discussion among developers and researchers about legacy infrastructure and modern alternatives for fast data movement.
Why now: The technical history of a protocol still underpinning large scientific data transfers resonates with researchers and infrastructure engineers.
