Enabling Applications for Grid Computing with Globus

Globus API C++ wrappers

The following examples show some C++ wrappers for some common Globus services.

ITSO_GASS_TRANSFER

This class provides methods to easily transfer a file from one location to another. The GLOBUS_FILE class is use to refer to a locally stored file, and GLOBUS_URL is used to refer to a remotely stored file that can be reached by either http, https, or gsiftp protocol.
