Hi Jens, following your suggestion, I am using the mailing list :). Brian and I ended out tests on Friday trying to use fts-transfer-submit. However the jobs failed because of firewall issues. Brian sent me the best practice guide, however I am not certain on these services, so I could not really ascertain, what extra ports I had to open for what. I sent that information to Brian. I will forward the last email to this mailing list.
