Hi Antoine, >I did not find anything about these files. What is the format of these files? >Can local users control their share with these files?
The files in the sharing state directory describe the shares that exist on the endpoint. These files are autogenerated when shares are created and are not meant to be enduser created or modified. It is not possible for users to create a share simply by attempting to create one of the sharing state files. >If I install GridFTP server in my lab without Globus Online subscription, is >it possible for a local user to : >- control their own shares >- grant access to $HOME/dir_A to a non local user named user_A >- grant access to $HOME/dir_B to a non local user named user_B Shares can only be created and used on Managed Endpoints, which are a type of endpoint covered under a Globus Subscription. If your endpoint is not managed, then it cannot host shares and users will not be able to creates shares based on your endpoint.

The documentation say : -sharing-state-dir string Full path to a directory that will contain files used by GridFTP to control sharing access for individual local accounts. ............ The default path is $HOME/.globus/sharing/. ...... I did not find anything about these files. What is the format of these files? Can local users control their share with these files? If I install GridFTP server in my lab without Globus Online subscription, is it possible for a local user to : - control their own shares - grant access to $HOME/dir_A to a non local user named user_A - grant access to $HOME/dir_B to a non local user named user_B Regards, Antoine -- Antoine Migeon Centre de Calcul et Messageries Pôle des Systèmes d'Information et des Usages du Numérique Université de Bourgogne
