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.
