Hi all
Sorry about the delay in providing feedback. Tried out the client on
Linux, Win and Mac and it seems to work well except on Windows. Upload
works, download doesn't appear to work. Using any of the "download"
methods (double-click on file, download button or menu option) do not
appear to work. The status window shows the download progress but no
file is created on the local system. 
Any ideas why this works on Linux & Mac but not Win?

Subject: Re: [gt-user] gridftp on mac

To whet the appetite... Here is a screenshot showing 6 files being  
transferred via gridftp from our SRM/DRM storage server to my laptop  
using cgftp.  Some notes:

   - Asks for certificate password at the initiation of each gridftp  
login, doesn't appear to remember to use the existing already-created  
proxy

   - Uses parallelism of 1 even if higher values have been selected  
in options

   - some non-intuitive nature of the site add and delete functions -  
beware!  It is easy to delete a file rather than a site connection  
definition if you are not careful - use "Site... Delete Site" rather  
than clicking on the "Delete" icon just above the list of sites  the  
latter applies to the files you may have selected.

In any case, it works perfectly well on macs and I imagine will work  
OK modulo the above notes on other platforms as well.

It would be nice to have the libraries and API for building into  
other clients for services as well.  Charles, please do press the  
authors (with our thanks in advance) to post this.
