FileTransferService

Introduction

The FTS is a Computing Division product that watches a drop box for new files, then

• declares the files to SAM
• copies the file to tape-backed dCache
• when the file is on tape, add that tape location to the SAM record

The code is locally installed on mu2esamgpvm01, 02 , and 03. The code has options controlled by a config file. Is provides status web page, linked to the OfflineOps page.

Mu2e uploaded all files by the FTS for a while around 2016, but currently (2022) we only use it for uploading DAQ files by the Raw Data Mover
