NAME
       globus-gridftp-password  -  creates  an  encrypted  password to be used for an user of the Globus GridFTP
       server


SYNOPSYS
       globus-gridftp-password


DESCRIPTION
       Create encrypted user passwords to be used with the GridFTP server in case it is configured to use  clear
       text password. However, this type of functionality is not recommended, unless the network is trusted.

       The  globus-gridftp-password  command  asks for a password and generates a line in the same format as the
       standard password file (see file /etc/passwd). Such a line can be appended to the password file  used  by
       the GridFTP server.


EXAMPLE
       % gridftp-password.pl >> pwfile
         Password:

       Generates a password line for the current user and append it to file "pwfile".
