tgftp - The GridFTP test script - Installation instructions

Contents

  1. Dependencies
  2. Installation
    2.1 Modulefile
  3. Uninstallation

(1) Dependencies

To run the tools in this distribution (namely tgftp and tgftp_log), some dependencies have to be met first. These tools need the following binaries in $PATH for operation:

  • uname
  • cat
  • cut (GNU coreutils)
  • sleep (GNU coreutils)
  • grep/egrep (GNU versions)
  • sed (GNU version)
  • globus-url-copy

NOTICE: On Linux systems (uname returns Linux) tgftp uses the default $PATH to search for the required tools. On AIX systems (uname returns AIX) the script uses /opt/freeware/bin/ to search for the required tools. Other operating systems are currently not supported, but the script can be easily patched, if the required tools are available. Please follow the message that is printed out if you run this script on an operating system different from Linux or AIX.

(2) Installation

For installation just run ./install.sh (user install). This will create a directory named bin and a directory structure below opt/tgftp/ in your home (if not already existing). The scripts of the tgftp distro are copied to $HOME/opt/tgftp/bin/ and links will be created in $HOME/bin/, so one can run them directly.

If you add a path to ./install.sh (system install) e.g. ./install /path, the tgftp distribution will be installed in path/tgftp/ instead. For a system install, the links to the scripts will be created in path/tgftp/bin/.

(2.1) Modulefile

To ease usage of this tool for users that have a modules environment available, a modulefile has been created. All related files are stored below ./modulefiles. After installing the modulefile please adapt the local configuration file to your needs.

(3) Uninstallation

For uninstallation just run the link ./uninstall.sh. This will remove the tgftp tools and its links from $HOME/opt/ and $HOME/bin respectively. If you add a path to ./uninstall.sh, the tgftp tools will be removed from there instead.
