Hi Brock,
It is likely that those servers don't support third party transfers, or
fxp as it is commonly called with standard ftp servers. While some
standard ftp server software supports this, it is often not enabled on
public servers.
With the second server, it recognizes that the port you're telling it to
connect to isn't the same one that the client is connecting from, and
fails.
With the first I suspect it is simply ignoring the address portion of
the PORT argument and attempting to connect to the client address.
Either should work if you're able to run globus-url-copy on the same
host as the gridftp server, though that may of defeat the purpose.

I need to have a user push a lot of data though a host from an FTP only site to
our gridftp server. The user has to do it this way because we don't allow user
login on this host (sftp, and globusonline only)
Because we setup this host with GCMU we have self signed certs etc. but I was
able to manualy set subjects. Problem is I can't get the transfer to work:
globus-url-copy -dbg -v -ds '<subject>'
ftp://public-ftp.hmpdacc.org/Illumina/stool/SRS045004.tar.bz2
gsiftp://gridftp-flux.engin.umich.edu/scratch/support_flux/brockp/tmp/
Just hangs, and the file says size zero.
Last line of debug information is:
debug: sending command to
ftp://public-ftp.hmpdacc.org/Illumina/stool/SRS045004.tar.bz2:
PORT 141,212,30,14,196,207
I tried using another ftp server and I get a different error:
globus-url-copy -dbg -v -ds '<subject>'
ftp://mirror.optus.net/fedora/linux/extras/README
gsiftp://gridftp-flux.engin.umich.edu/scratch/support_flux/brockp/tmp/
error: globus_ftp_client: the server responded with an error
500 Illegal PORT command
Any thoughts on why I can't do this?
