GridFTP and the history of fast file transfer

Original: GridFTP: A Brief History of Fast File Transfer (2024)

The Globus team 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 technology's evolution and its role in enabling data-intensive physics and other large-scale science, drawing interest from developers and researchers who still rely on fast bulk data movement.

Why now: Researchers and engineers are interested in the technical history of a protocol still used to move huge scientific datasets.
