configure_gridftp - Configuration script for GridFTP

Synopsis

    configure_gridftp --server <y,n>
                      --vdt-install <VDT installation root>

Description

--server <y,n>
For y, prepare GridFTP to be installed and enabled by vdt-control. For n, describe GridFTP for use by vdt-control, but do not enable.
--vdt-install <VDT installation root>
configure_gridftp will look for the root of the VDT installation at $VDT_LOCATION. If you do not have that set you can specify it with --vdt-install instead.
--new-gridftp
Configure the new GridFTP server (Globus 4.1.3) instead of the current GridFTP server (Globus 4.0.7).
---use-lotman
Enable lotman for managing the GridFTP server. This option implies --new-gridftp.
--port <port>
The port number to use. For the current GridFTP server, this defaults to 2811. For the new GridFTP server, this defaults to 2812. No verification is done to ensure that if you have both the current and new GridFTP server, the ports don't conflict. That is up to you.
--help, --usage
Print a usage message.

The following actions are performed to set up GridFTP:

gsiftp:2811 is added to /etc/services
The GridFTP server is added to the inetd/xinetd configuration
