GridFTP uses the same permissions that the user would normally have when logged in to the system. There is no way to restrict a user to his own home directory currently, but if filesystem permissions were set appropriately they could certainly be restriced write access to anything else. Read access is probably harder to prevent with this method as in the least the gridftp/globus binaries would live outside the home dir and the user would need read access to these.

Dear gt-user ...

I want to ask about how to restrict user access in GridFTP. I want users
only have write and read access only in their home directories and not
above it via GridFTP. is that possible ? and how ? I have implemented
Gridsphere+GridPortlet/VineTolkit, and users can browse root directory
with gridFtp.

Thanks.
