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

           % globus-gridftp-password >> pwfile
           Password:

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