[Swift-devel] swift error ( gridftp problem)

[Ben Clifford]

this is almost definitely a firewall problem, with you not having the 
correct ports for gridftp data channels open.

read this:

http://dev.globus.org/wiki/FirewallHowTo

You need to configure an ephemeral port range in your firewall, of maybe 
1000 ports, and declare it in the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE for your server, 
as described here:

http://dev.globus.org/wiki/FirewallHowTo#Configuring_GridFTP_to_use_GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE

Make sure you can transfer a file with globus-url-copy before attempting 
to run Swift.

This is not a swift-specific problem.
