| | 3 | When using web-based job submission, input files can be large, |
| | 4 | and it would be inconvenient to upload these files each time jobs are submitted. |
| | 5 | Instead, we allow users to maintain a set of files on the project server; |
| | 6 | this is called the user's "file sandbox". |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | Using a web interface (sandbox.php), users can |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | * upload files from PC to sandbox |
| | 11 | * view the files in their sandbox, including size and MD5. |
| | 12 | * download files from sandbox to PC |
| | 13 | * delete files from the sandbox |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | Files in the sandbox can be modified, |
| | 16 | and all old versions are retained on the server. |
| | 17 | When a batch of jobs is submitted, |
| | 18 | it uses the input file versions at the moment of submission, |
| | 19 | even if the files are then modified while the batch is in progress. |
