 For the user convenience QCG client is able to stage in input data accessible from the host where it is installed and also to stage out output data there. The functionality requires the data to be accessible via gridFTP server. The gridFTP server can be installed on the client machine or it can be any gridFTP server having access to the data on client machine. The simplest and the most popular solution is to mount the same shared network file system on both machines. The mount point must be exact the same. Paths to data have to be exactly the same on both machines.
