It implements its own protocol, supports multi-stream transfers, large TCP windows, compression, retries, and authentication modes aimed at scientific-computing environments. ### Historique du projet The official overview says bbFTP was written by Gilles Farrache at the IN2P3 Computing Center in Lyon, France. The download archive shows public 1.9.x releases by 2000, with the 2.x and 3.x lines adding certificate authentication, RFIO/HPSS-oriented large-file work, passive mode, remote operations, and platform ports. The 3.2.1 documentation was generated in February 2013 and lists 3.2.1 as the latest release. The newer IN2P3 GitLab repository preserves the project under the CC-IN2P3 HPSS service namespace. ### Historique d'adoption bbFTP's adoption history is more institutional than mass-market: its feature set and official docs target large scientific data transfers, HPSS/RFIO storage, grid-style certificate authentication, and Unix platforms such as Scientific Linux, Ubuntu, macOS, and Solaris. ### Modes d'utilisation Users run the `bbftp` client to transfer files larger than 2 GB, often with multiple data streams, retry behavior, customized timeouts, and secure authentication. `bbftpstatus`, added in the 3.2.0 line, provides status queries for the transfer system. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent bbFTP is significant as a pre-cloud, research-computing file-transfer package: it solved a real package-manager problem for sites moving very large files before modern object stores and ubiquitous HTTPS tooling. Its formula also demonstrates how Homebrew carries niche scientific infrastructure clients, not just desktop developer tools. ### Chronologie - 2000-08-29: Download archive lists bbftp.v.1.9.0. - 2001-04-05: Version 2.0.0 archive published. - 2003-04-01: Version 3.0.0 released. - 2004-07-22: Version 3.1.0 released with remote operations and site configuration files. - 2005-05-30: Version 3.2.0 released with `bbftpstatus` and Darwin port work. - 2013-02-07: Version 3.2.1 released as the latest listed release. ### Related projects - Related projects include GridFTP, scp, rsync, lftp, HPSS/RFIO tooling, and other high-throughput scientific data-transfer clients. ### Sources - - - - ## Notes de sécurité broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Risque Geiger:** blue / moyen - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
