(Optional) Installing a GridFTP Server
346-
--------------------------------------
347-
348-
The Globus GridFTP server can be installed alongside an XRootD storage element to provide GridFTP-based access to the
349-
storage.
350-
351-
!!! note "See Also"
352-
OSG has extensive documentation on setting up a GridFTP server; this section is an
353-
abbreviated version documenting the special steps needed for XRootD integration.

- [Basic GridFTP Install](../gridftp.md). Additionally covers service planning topics.

- [Load-balanced GridFTP Install](../load-balanced-gridftp.md). Covers the creation of
358-
a load-balanced GridFTP service using multiple servers.

Prior to following this installation guide, verify the host certificates and networking is configured correctly as in
361-
the [basic GridFTP install](../gridftp.md).

### Installation
364-
365-
GridFTP support for XRootD-based storage is provided by the `osg-gridftp-xrootd` meta-package:
366-
367-
``` console
368-
root@host # yum install osg-gridftp-xrootd
369-
```
370-
371-
### Configuration
372-
373-
For information on how to configure authentication for your GridFTP installation, please refer to the
374-
[configuring authentication section of the GridFTP guide](../gridftp.md#configuring-authentication).
375-
376-
Edit `/etc/sysconfig/globus-gridftp-server` to set `XROOTD_VMP` to use your XRootD redirector.
377-
378-
:::bash
379-
export XROOTD_VMP="redirector:1094:/local_path=/remote_path"
380-
381-
!!! warning
382-
The syntax of `XROOTD_VMP` is tricky; make sure to use the following guidance:
383-
384-
- **Redirector**: The hostname and domain of the local XRootD redirector server.
385-
- **local_path**: The full local path exported by the GridFTP server. For example `/mystorage/export/data/store`
386-
- **remote_path**: The XRootD path that will be mounted at **local_path**.
387-
388-
When `xrootd-dsi` is enabled, GridFTP configuration changes should go into `/etc/xrootd-dsi/gridftp-xrootd.conf`, not
389-
`/etc/gridftp.conf`.
390-
Sites should review any customizations made in the latter and copy them as necessary.
391-
392-
You can use the FUSE mount in order to test POSIX access to xrootd in the GridFTP server.
393-
You should be able to run Unix commands such as `ls /mnt/xrootd` and see the contents of the XRootD server.
394-
395-
For log / config file locations and system services to run, see the [basic GridFTP install](../gridftp.md).
