Hi Subhav,<br>
<br>
Most Globus toolkit only supports *inx system with a few exceptions
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.globus.org/faq.php#windows">http://www.globus.org/faq.php#windows</a>). So I think usually those
globus actors, including GridFtp, only support *inx system.<br>
<br>
BTW, I'm working on a separate module, called globus, in Kepler
1.x. One actor in this module, called GlobusWSJob
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/globus/src/org/kepler/actor/globus/gram/GlobusWSJob.java">https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/globus/src/org/kepler/actor/globus/gram/GlobusWSJob.java</a>),
can submit jobs from windows. The prerequisite is having ws-core, like
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/survey/index.php?download=ws-core-4.0.7-bin.zip">http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/survey/index.php?download=ws-core-4.0.7-bin.zip</a>,
installed at client end.<br>
<br>
Another note for globus actors is that the back capability of
Globus toolkit is not very good. So users may need to replace jars
current used in Kepler to interact with globus servers with different
versions. <br>
