Hi Folks,
Haven't got any reply on this mail. Am I sending it to the wrong list? I
want to know whether it's possible to copy a file using rft to a
location relative to your ${GLOBUS_USER_HOME} without knowing beforehand
the exact content of this variable.
Cheers,
Roelof

Hi Folks,
I've got a problem copying a file from machine A to machine B using
RFT. I want to have a file from A to end up at B in
"${GLOBUS_USER_HOME}/file". However, this seems to be impossible,
unless you know the contents of ${GLOBUS_USER_HOME}.
I construct the transferArray according to
(http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/data/rft/developer-index.html#s-rft-developer-tutorials)
like this:
|TransferType[] transferArray = new TransferType[1];
transferArray[0] = new TransferType();
transferArray[0].setSourceUrl("gsiftp://foo/bar";);
transferArray[0].setDestinationUrl("gsiftp://blah/";);

The path part of the URL is in the first case '/bar' and in the second
'/'. So it copies '/bar' to '/', which is the root of the filesystem,
and on grid machines you normally don't have permission to copy your
file to that location. What I'd like to have is something similar to
the staging with GRAM, for instance:
|TransferType[] transferArray = new TransferType[1];
transferArray[0] = new TransferType();
transferArray[0].setSourceUrl("gsiftp://foo/bar";);
transferArray[0].setDestinationUrl("gsiftp://blah/${GLOBUS_USER_HOME}/baz";);
|
Which will end up in your own directory. I noticed that this doesn't
work RFT.
Is there a work-around (where you don't know the contents of
${GLOBUS_USER_HOME} beforehand)?

Any ideas?
