GridFTP (and GRAM) clients for .NET

Having mentioned GridFTP integration with Firefox, I should also point out the very nice work done at Virginia by Marty Humphrey. Glenn Wasson, and colleagues on .NET clients (and services) for GridFTP and GRAM. The clients interoperate with the GT4 GridFTP and GRAM services.

Thus, Globus users wanting a GRAM job submission client on Windows have a few options:

• Java libraries (GramJob et al.) and a Java command line program (managed-job-globusrun), via the GT4 distribution.
• The cog-job-submit command from the Java CoG distribution.
• The .NET GUI from Virginia (requires .NET framework and WSRF.NET).

As do users wanting a GridFTP client on Windows:

• Java RFT libraries and a Java command line program (rft), via the GT4 distribution.
• Java libraries (GridFTPClient.java) and a Java command line program( globus-url-copy) that are part of the Java CoG distribution.
• The .NET GUI from Virginia (requires .NET framework and WSRF.NET).

There are probably others, too, that I don't know about. (Please contact me if you know of any.)
