Synopsis

Currently, the file transfers through Airavata's Managed File Transfer (MFT) are requested manually. We intend to automate these transfers.

Benefits to Community

Any user or a set of users using Airavata requiring a regular backup/transfer of files would be benefited. This eliminates the need for the users to write their own scripts to schedule file transfers. If the functionality of scheduled file transfers is provided by Airavata, the overload in terms of redundant file transfers can be minimized. This will put the users to ease, conserve compute resources and save storage.

Deliverables

Wrappers around the existing file transfer such that file transfers are automated with little to no redundancy.
