Re: [gridsam-discuss] Staging in whole directores.

[Justin B. <jb...@ec...>]

Hi Elliott,

GridSAM doesn't support recursive file copy.  Also ftp doesn't either.
What I suggest you do is tar or zip (or even jar) up the directory and  
send the resulting file over in one go.
Then also send over a script  to be used as the Executable which  
unpacks the archive file and uses its contents.

The 'fractal' sample client which comes with the OMII-UK Campus Grid  
Toolkit uses this method.

Let me know if you require any more help with this.

Regards,
	Justin
