pegasus-gridftp is a client for Globus GridFTP servers. It enables remote operations on files and directories via the GridFTP protocol. This tool was created to enable more efficient remote directory creation and file cleanup tasks in Pegasus.

pegasus-gridftp has several subcommands to implement different operations.

ls

The ls subcommand lists the details of a file, or the contents of a directory on the remote server.

mkdir

The mkdir subcommand creates one or more directories on the remote server.

rm

The rm subcommand deletes one or more files and directories from the remote server.

All URLs supplied to pegasus-gridftp should begin with "gsiftp://".

pegasus-gridftp uses the CoG JGlobus API to communicate with remote GridFTP servers. Refer to the CoG JGlobus documentation for information about configuring the API, such as how to specify the user\(cqs proxy, etc.

pegasus-gridftp returns a zero exist status if the operation is successful. A non-zero exit status is returned in case of failure.
