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.
