Original: GridFTP: A Brief History of Fast File Transfer (2024)
Globus has published a retrospective on GridFTP, the protocol developed for high-speed transfer of large scientific datasets. The piece traces how the technology came to move massive volumes of data for research communities, particularly in physics, and reflects on its role in modern data infrastructure. Readers are discussing the protocol's legacy in large-scale science.
Why now: The retrospective on a foundational data-transfer tool has drawn attention from the technical community interested in scientific computing history.
