The GFAL 2.0 transfer library: The GFAL 2.0 transfer library (gfal2-transfer) is an additional GFAL 2.0 library for high level file copy management.

GFAL 2.0 python API : The GFAL2.0 python module allows to use the power of the GFAL 2.0 library in a pythonic manner. gfal2-python is fully thread safe, concurrent and exception support out of the box.

gfalFS : gfalFS is a fuse module based on the GFAL 2.0, It makes possible to mount any storage endpoint with a compatible protocol and to use it locally.
