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.
