Note: All PFTP Client SubStanzas are optional.
The PFTP Client = { ... } stanza contains several optional specifications for the pftp_client
executables.
The SYSLOG Facility = value is used to establish the syslog facility for the Multinode Daemon. It
has no relevance to the PFTP Client running without the Multinode Daemon.
The Debug Value = value is used to provide additional diagnostic information for the PFTP Client.
Under normal circumstances, this should be set to 0 (Default) or 1. Larger values will provide
additional information; but, will cause users to complain!
The Authentication Mechanism = value is used to determine the preferred authentication
mechanism for the PFTP Client. If the desired mechanism is to use Kerberos Credentials, this should
be activated and set to GSS. Unless this is appropriately set, the PFTP Client will NOT use Kerberos
Credentials even if they exist. The final determination of permitted mechanisms is performed by the
PFTP Server.
The DEFAULT COS = value substanza assigns a default Class of Service (COS) for HPSS. If this
option is not specified, the Core Server (Bitfile component) is responsible for determining the default
COS unless the user explicitly issues a "site setcos <ID>" command or specifies "-C<ID>" on the
command line to change the class of service. If this substanza is specified, the class of service
provided in value will be used unless the user explicitly issues a "site setcos <ID>" command to
change the class of service. For this reason, caution should be used in specifying this option.
The Protocol = value substanza is used to specify the desired PFTP protocol. Currently, any of three
values may be specified: PDATA_AND_MOVER, PDATA_ONLY, or PDATA_PUSH. The
default specification is PDATA_AND_MOVER. The PDATA_ONLY specification provides
improved performance in high latency WAN environments.
