| | 1 | = GridFTP server installation = |
| | 2 | * install grid-ftp server using the YUM Package Manager: |
| | 3 | It is recommended to take the gridFTP server from the IGE (Initiative for Globus in Europe) repository. |
| | 4 | Please configure IGE repositories |
| | 5 | {{{#!sh |
| | 6 | cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/IGE.repo << EOF |

| | 24 | }}} |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | '''IMPORTANT:''' If for any reason you do not want to use IGE repos, you can alternatively configure the system to use EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository. |
| | 27 | * The configuration can be done by installation of yum-conf-epel.noarch package using the YUM Package Manager. |
| | 28 | {{{ |
| | 29 | #!div style="font-size: 90%" |

| | 31 | yum install yum-conf-epel.noarch |
| | 32 | }}} |
| | 33 | }}} |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | Install the gridFTP server package: |
| | 36 | {{{ |
| | 37 | #!div style="font-size: 90%" |
| | 38 | {{{#!sh |
| | 39 | yum install globus-gridftp-server-progs.x86_64 |
| | 40 | }}} |
| | 41 | }}} |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | The grid-ftp server requires the X.509 certificate and key to be present in the following locations |
| | 45 | * ''/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem'' |
| | 46 | * ''/etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem'' |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | The GridFTP server has to be configured to know the range of opened ports for connections. |
| | 49 | Please edit the /etc/xinetd.d/gsiftp file and set the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE environment variable. |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | {{{#!sh |
| | 52 | service gsiftp |
| | 53 | { |
| | 54 | instances = 100 |
| | 55 | per_source = 50 |
| | 56 | socket_type = stream |
| | 57 | wait = no |
| | 58 | user = root |
| | 59 | env += GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE=20000,25000 |

| | 63 | log_on_success += DURATION |
| | 64 | nice = 10 |
| | 65 | disable = no |
| | 66 | } |
| | 67 | }}} |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | * If needed please install the xinetd tool first |
| | 70 | {{{#!sh |
| | 71 | yum install xinetd.x86_64 |
| | 72 | }}} |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | IMPORTANT: Do not forget to start or reload xinetd service. |
| | 75 | |
| | 76 | {{{#!default |
| | 77 | service xinetd reload |
| | 78 | }}} |
| | 79 | |
| | 80 | {{{#!default |
| | 81 | service xinetd start |
| | 82 | }}} |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | We also recommend to adjust system wide TCP keepalive parameters for reliability reasons: |
| | 85 | {{{ |
| | 86 | echo "600" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time |
| | 87 | echo "75" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl |
| | 88 | echo "9" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_probes |
| | 89 | }}} |
| | 90 | In order to make the changes persistent add it also to the `/etc/sysctl.conf` |
| | 91 | |
