Globus GridFTP, as the de-facto implementation of GridFTP, plays a significant role in grid-based scientific research and collaboration. Therefore, its efficiency, performance and scalability over high speed networks is critical to the overall success of scientific research and collaboration. In this work, we have used several techniques including transport protocol offload, security processing offload, and network reservation to improve the file transfer experience of Globus GridFTP. We will demonstrate the throughput and host utilization benefits of using such techniques for long-haul file transfers.
