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".
