Update on MFT

["Bandaru, Vivek Shresta" <vi...@iu.edu>]

Hi All,

After a few meetings and discussions with Dimuthu, the attached UIDesign.pdf is finalized as the new Dashboard design for MFT. The design of choosing the source and destination storages are inspired from globus.
The key features of the new dashboard:

  1.  View and add new storage units.
  2.  View old transfers made in MFT. -> (This would require adding persistent storage to MFT)
  3.  Initiate new transfers.
  4.  B through source directory to choose a file from a storage.
  5.  Browsing through directories to choose the destination directory in a storage.

Akhil is working on the UI part of this project and has started working on the MFT-DjangoPortal.
Dimuthu and I are working on MFT backend.

Will update with further details about our current implementations in another mail.

Regards,
Vivek.
