We are planning to phase out the root protocol to access CASTOR after the 3rd of February 2014 (protocol will also be discontinued on future ROOT versions). Our statistics showed that 10% of accesses to CASTOR are still using root protocol and we would like to ask the users to start the transition from *root* protocol to *xroot* protocol. The following links provide more information:
- Details and code recommendations (under ROOT analysis framework) following the deprecation of root data transfer protocol in CASTOR
- Instructions on how to access CASTOR using the xroot protocol (CASTOR quick tutorial for beginners)
