NAME
       globus-gridftp-server-setup-chroot - creates the specific contents of a directory that can specified as a
       root of the file system tree exposed by the Globus GridFTP server


SYNOPSYS
       globus-gridftp-server-setup-chroot [-c certificate_dir] -r chroot_path_to_create


DESCRIPTION
       GridFTP server can be configured to restrict access to  specific  path  using  the  command  line  option
       -chroot-path  of  the  globus-gridftp-server  command.  The specified path will become the new root after
       authentication.

       That path must contain a valid certificate structure, and the files /etc/passwd and /etc/groups.

       The command globus-gridftp-server-setup-chroot helps creating such a suitable directory structure.


OPTIONS
       -r chroot_path_to_create
              Creates in chroot_path_to_create the directory structure  expected  by  the  globus-gridftp-server
              command, when started with -chroot-path command line option.

       -c certificate_dir
              Specifies  explicitly  the directory from which the certificates will be copied into the directory
              chroot_path_to_create. The default path is /etc/grid-security/certificates.
