Fwd: [gt-user] gsiftp problem

[Yoichi Takayama]

Hi




Below is what I am using and it is correct.

This is not the cause of the error, I am getting.

service gsiftp
{
instances               = 100
socket_type             = stream
wait                    = no
user                    = root
env                     += GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr/local/globus
env                     += LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/globus/lib
server                  = /usr/local/globus/sbin/globus-gridftp-server
server_args             = -i
log_on_success          += DURATION
disable                 = no
}

Hi

http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.2/4.2.0/admin/quickstart/index.html



$ globus-url-copy gsiftp://grid1.ramscommunity.org/etc/group 
gsiftp://grid2.ramscommunity.org/tmp/from-grid1

error: globus_ftp_client: the server responded with an error
500 500-Command failed. : callback failed.
500-globus_xio: Unable to connect to 137.111.246.176:42777
500-globus_xio: System error in connect: No route to host
500-globus_xio: A system call failed: No route to host
500 End.

Obviously the port 42777 is not open because it is behind a Firewall.

The GridFTP is defined as gsiftp with /etc/xinetd.d/gridftp as:

service gsiftp
{
instances               = 100
socket_type             = stream
wait                    = no
user                    = root

server_args             = -i
log_on_success          += DURATION
disable                 = no
}

Also:

# cat /etc/services | grep gsiftp
gsiftp          2811/tcp                        # GSI FTP
gsiftp          2811/udp                        # GSI FTP





Thanks,
Yoichi

While trying to install the 2nd Globus, the GridFTP test tries to copy a file between two hosts. This fails. env += GLOBUS_LOCATION=/sandbox/globus/ globus-4.2.0 env += LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sandbox/globus/ globus-4.2.0/lib server = /sandbox/globus/globus-4.2.0/sbin/globus- gridftp-server Although the port 2811/tcp and 2811/udp have been opened, this does not help since the globus-url-copy gsiftp still wants to use some random ports other than 2811. The command copies files OK if the iptables are switched off. so, it is obviously the port number problem. Is there any other place where the setting should be placed to restrict what port the gsiftp should be using?
