Note: This version of the VDT (1.11.0) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.
configure_gridftp - Configuration script for GridFTP
configure_gridftp --server <y,n>
--vdt-install <VDT installation root>
--port
--new-gridftp
--use-lotman
--use-xrootd
--xrootd-host
--xrootd-mount-point
--xrootd-storage-path
--help --usage
- --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.
- ---use-xrootd
-
Use the Xrootd DSI module. This won't work unless the Xrootd-GridFTP package
has been installed.
- --xrootd-host
-
The host where the Xrootd redirector is running.
- --xrootd-mount-point
-
The mount point for the Xrootd redirector.
- --xrootd-storage-path
-
The storage path for the Xrootd redirector.
- --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
-
