[Swift-devel] Re: Coasters failing on Teraport - cant find Java?

[Michael Wilde]

I'll let Allan go for the chocolate bar :)

To clarify further: with coasters, is <gridftp url=local://localhost> a 
valid option?

Ie, coasters has 3 valid data provider options: gridftp, local, and 
"filesystem" which uses the coasters themselves to move data?

(Can you explain how the "filesystem" method works? I didnt find the 
userguide clear enough on that to help decide if/when to select this method)
