SciencePAD is currently in its early design and prototyping phase. Most of the functionality of this site is under development and it is not as automated or user friendly as we plan it to be for the final production version. Your contributions to the site with new registrations of users, organizations, collaborations and software, comments and new ideas are warmly welcome. For more information make sure to check the current SciencePAD Roadmap

FTS

File Transfer Service (FTS)

FTS is the service responsible for distributing the majority of LHC data across the WLCG infrastructure. It is a low level data movement service, responsible for moving sets of files from one site to another while allowing participating sites to control the network resource usage. This control includes the enforcement of site and usage policies like fair-share mechanisms on dedicated network links.
