Hi Folks,

I'm attempting to run gridFTP/Globus in a striped configuration.

While I can get the downloads to work, I notice that for a given transfer
it always gets served from just one of the 3 download (backend) servers I
have allocated and presented via the head node (a separate machine).

I was under the impression that striped mode allowed for splitting up a
single transfer over multiple download servers, is that correct and I just
have something misconfigured?

I'm posting the command lines I used to start up the head node, one of the
backend nodes (they're almost all the same except for IPs), and the client
command line.  I'm also attaching the gridftp.cfg file from one of the
backend nodes (they're almost all the same except for IPs).

Thanks very much for the help, and nice work on gridFTP,
Chris Wilks

Everything is run under sudo, the following has the IPs and ports changed
from the real ones.  I have 4 different physical machines (not VMs) with
one running the head node and the other three serving as backend machines.

head node (19.3.22.26) command line:
/usr/sbin/globus-gridftp-server -p 30893 -r 19.3.22.27:30893,
19.3.22.28:30893,19.3.22.29:30893 -c /etc/gridftp.conf

a backend node command line:
/usr/sbin/globus-gridftp-server -p 30893 -dn -c /etc/gridftp.conf

the client's command line:
globus-url-copy -vb -stripe
gsiftp://[email protected]:30893//file_to_grabfile:///dev/null

I'm using a mix of versions on the servers, don't know if thats a problem:
the head node and 2 of the 3 backend serves are using this version:
globus_gridftp_server: 6.24 (1366041562-83)
and the other backend server is using this version:
globus_gridftp_server: 6.23 (1363700466-83)
the client is:
globus-url-copy: 8.6
