Good morning again all, Let's see if I can embarrass myself once more. I am able to use GridFTP to transfer a test file from the client on 172.22.10.213 to the server on 172.22.10.206:
$ globus-url-copy -v file:/etc/group sshftp://172.22.10.206/tmp/group Source: file:/etc/ Dest: sshftp://172.22.10.206/tmp/ group [email protected]'s password: Yet, when I issue the same command on another machine, I get an error about invalid URL: $ globus-url-copy -v file:/etc/group sshftp://172.22.10.206/tmp/group Source: file:/etc/ Dest: sshftp://172.22.10.206/tmp/ group error: globus_ftp_client: an invalid value for url was used First of all, it would be nice if the error indicated which url is invalid, the source or the destination? Second of all, can anyone explain to me why this works on one client but not another? I am able to copy the file locally: $ globus-url-copy -v file:/etc/group file:/tmp/group Source: file:/etc/ Dest: file:/tmp/ group And I am able to access the server on port 2811: $ telnet 172.22.10.206 2811 Trying 172.22.10.206... Connected to 172.22.10.206. Escape character is '^]'. 220 GridFTP Server ^]q Since the exact same command works in one instance, and not in another, I would assume something is not kosher on the second system. But as far as I can see, the URL is proper, so an error message about it being invalid doesn't make much sense and doesn't offer much of a starting point for the troubleshooting process. Again, any help is appreciated, even if it does turn out to be my own dumb fault. Melvin
