Hi,
I had some more questions on GridFTP with RFT and on Derby
1) Is it possible to configure GridFTP to authenticate over SSH rather
than use certificates, and then use RFT to do transfers over this
configuration ?
No, it is not possible.
I'm mainly intersted in GridFTP user authentications,
i.e. authentication/encryption of the gftp control channel. The docs
mention that GridFTP can be configured to do this but not much is
mentioned about using RFT with this.
2) Is there any benefit to using the default Derby database rather
than say PostgreSql or MySql ? I ask this because I am familiar with
PostgreSql/MySql and these may be more stable and mature products. I
haven't every done anything with Derby. What are the general
recommendations ?
Derby was included so that the users do not need to go through the DB
installation process. I'm not sure if there is any other benefit -
others in
the list can speak to it better than I can.
Thanks in advance
ARN
