💅 gridftpd — the ARC GridFTP Server, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to GRIDFTPD(8), straight outta the NorduGrid System Managers Manual 🎀 this is the page for gridftpd, and yes we're gonna get through the whole thing together, no skimming, no skipping. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

gridftpd — the ARC GridFTP Server 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gridftpd [OPTION]...

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. flags only, no positional args, she takes options and she takes them with style 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gridftpd is the daemon that runs the ARC GridFTP server. like, it is the server, it's not doing a little side quest 💀

and the way this server is built? plugins ✨ she's got plugins that let her:

  • accept job submission from Grid clients 👑
  • expose a local filesystem as a Grid Storage Element 🗄️

so basically she's out here being both the person taking your order and the person handing you the goods. main character energy fr fr.

for the deep lore, go read "The ARC Computing Element System Administrator Guide" (NORDUGRID-MANUAL-20). it's giving required reading, ngl 📚

💖 OPTIONS 💖

here we go, the full menu, every single one, no cap 🍓

  • -h — show the help text. the "bestie just tell me what to do" button 🙈
  • -p number — the port she listens on 👂
  • -c path — the full path to the config file. full path, not "kinda sorta path", not "the one in my downloads folder" 💅
  • -n number — the maximum number of connections allowed. she has limits and honestly? healthy boundaries 🫶
  • -b number — the default buffer size 🧺
  • -B number — the maximum buffer size. yes it's -b but capital, and yes that's the vibe, get used to it 😭
  • -F — run the daemon in the foreground. no hiding in the background, she's out here being visible 🌈
