6grid project
This research and development is being performed under 6Grid project in BioGrid project promoted by Osaka University, Japan. We are pleased to welcome you to IPv6 Grid FTP Area in the project web page.

This web site was temporarily set up to allow those who are interested in our 6Grid project products to download our implementation of IPv6 Grid FTP,or IPv6 Grid FTP/BGSD(BioGrid Software Distribution). This software is being developed by 6Grid project composed of NEC System Technologies Ltd . and core Grid team in Biogrid project.

Our software is still underway and so only the following funtionalities of Grid FTP are ready to run on IPv6 network.

  1. Single Transfer: Transfeinf data of a single file in a single stream
  2. Parallel Transfers: transfering data of a single file in parallel streams

Currently, we have been trying striped transfer functionality (a technique to transfer data in paralle between multiple machines) of Grid FTP.

Although IPv6 Grid FTP/BGSD is currently alpha version, you can download it only if you follow at least the following conditions imposed on the use of our IPv6 Grid FTP/BGSD. We assume that this release is done only for evaluation purpose. Otherwise, you cannot use our current alpha version of IPv6 Grid FTP/BGSD. (Actually, we are currently investigating which of licensing issues such as GTPL is the most suitable for this implementation. At the time of writing this, the final form of licensing is not decided yet. Importanly, this release is temporal measure for SC2003 demonstration.)



 

1) You must not redistribute this software. Our implementation of IPv6 Grid FTP is not perfect yet. In near future, we plan to release beta version of IPv6 Grid FTP/BGSD. Importantly, this release is a temporal measure for SC2003 demonstration and done only for evaluation purpose.

 

2) You cannot use our implementation of IPv6 Grid FTP for other purposes than SC2003 demonstration until the official release of our IPv6 Grid FTP. If you want to use our implementation of IPv6 Grid FTP for other purposes than SC2003 demonstration, you must contact us .

 

3) You must notify us of the following your information whenever you install our implementation of IPv6 Grid FTP to your computer. The gathered information is used only for statistical purpose (in master thesis and Ph.D thesis.). Again, the registered information is safely managed in the project.

 

  1.Title:
2.Your Name:
3.Affiliation:
4.E-mail (web mail is not permitted.):
5.Country
6.ZIP
7.Address
8.Tel:
9.The administrator and hostname of computers which you want to install IPv6 Grid FTP
 

4) The documentation must mention 6Grid project activity.

 

5) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO LICENSEE OR OTHER PERSONS FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 

If you can agree with the above 5 items, please let us know your information described in item 3) with our e-mail address; 6grid@ais.cmc.osaka-u.ac.jp. You will be notified of the web address to the download area of IPv6 Grid FTP with the password for downloading our implementation of IPv6 Grid FTP. Again, notice that our development is still underway.



IPv6 version of Globus grid toolkit is available right now from the download area in the official 6Grid project web page.
