Hi - Thanks for the helpful tips.
I was looking at InPlaceDataTransferer, and it does not seem to have a command line interface (there's no main). Specifically, I looked at the class "org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.datatransfer.InPlaceDataTransferer" Is there a command-line wrapper already built I can use? Thanks again!
