Hello, I am a researcher working for The University of Alabama in Huntsville Computer Science Department. I am attempting to use Falcon as part of a file transfer study.

The issue currently is that we don't have access to the server we are pulling from, so we cannot use the sender half of the code. The server we are pulling from is an AWS S3 bucket.

Would it be possible to modify or customize the code to pull from an S3 bucket without the sender code being installed by the server? Additionally, are there any offshoots or updated versions of Falcon that are more suited for this use case, and is there further documentation of Falcon that could assist us in modifications to the code for our use case?

Hi,

I am currently trying to evaluate Faclon's ability on large-scale data transfer. While trying to use AdaptiveGridFTPClient as mentioned in the readme, I am unable to execute the runner. My configuration file is basically pointing to the local-hosted ftp server (as a test). My hostname keeps on coming as null while executing.

Can you please help me with this?

• First, can you provide an example configuration on how I can use ftp there?
• Secondly, hostname keeps on coming as null no matter what.
• What do INPUT_DIR and OUTPUT_DIR represent in src/main/java/client/ConfigurationParams.java? Do I need to update the paths?
• How do we do authenticated ftp with username and password in this?

I have attached a screenshot
