[Discuss] GridCF UberFTP maintenance

[Maarten Litmaath]

Hi all,
there is an open ticket about a bug that in principle is very serious,
while in practice there do not appear to have been many reports of
incidents due to the bug:

    https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129103

Quoting that ticket:

    We've noticed that UberFTP deletes a file after an unsuccessful attempt
    to overwrite the file. In our (SARA-MATRIX) dCache SRM, overwrites have
    been disabled. Some users try to overwrite anyway, and may thus end up
    deleting their own data. This only happens with UberFTP.

Hi all,

There's been some discussion on the mailing list about UberFTP being a
useful client for the Grid Community Toolkit with questions about its
status. After receiving the blessing of the original maintainer and a
passing PMC vote [1], we've decided that the GridCF would be an
appropriate home for UberFTP [2]!

Please forward this message onto anyone that may be interested in the
continued maintenance and support of UberFTP.

Thanks,
Brian
