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".
