NCAR/CGD now has an anonymous GridFTP server available for use. The server references the same storage as ftp.cgd.ucar.edu, however anonymous upload is not available at this time. NOTE: The normal FTP commonly in use is not the same as GridFTP . These are different protocols with different command sets. For access, reference the normal GridFTP documentation. http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/systems/documentation-long/05.02.02_-_Globus_Connect.html In the Globus interface, search for 'NCAR CGD ANON' instead of 'NCAR CGD'. Comand line access may be useful from other institutions that also have Globus support. The following commands provide a quick start. % globus-url-copy -list ftp://gridanon.cgd.ucar.edu:2811/ % globus-url-copy -vb -fast -p 4 ftp://gridanon.cgd.ucar.edu:2811/inputdata file:///dev/null Let me know if there are any questions. -- Mark --0- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Moore UCAR/NCAR/CGD mmoore@ucar.edu 1850 Table Mesa Drive (W) 303 497-1338 Boulder, CO 80305 (F) 303 497-1324
