Good morning chaps, I've tried disguising myself as a member of hone and srmcping a file onto the dcache, but I get a similar error to the hone guys: *snip* debug: sending command: STOR //pnfs/lancs.ac.uk/data/hone/matttest.pdf debug: response from gsiftp://fal-pygrid-27.lancs.ac.uk:2811//pnfs/lancs.ac.uk/data/hone/matttest.pdf: 550 Permission denied debug: fault on connection to gsiftp://fal-pygrid-27.lancs.ac.uk:2811//pnfs/lancs.ac.uk/data/hone/matttest.pdf: the server sent an error response: 550 550 Permission denied debug: data callback, error the server sent an error response: 550 550 Permission denied , buffer 0xb75be008, length 0, offset=0, eof=true debug: operation complete error: the server sent an error response: 550 550 Permission denied exit value is 1 failed to copy file:////home/lcg-admin/28test.pdf to gsiftp://fal-pygrid-27.lancs.ac.uk:2811//pnfs/lancs.ac.uk/data/hone/matttest.pdf /opt/d-cache/srm/sbin/url-copy.sh return code = 1 execution of CopyJob, source = file:////home/lcg-admin/28test.pdf destination = gsiftp://fal-pygrid-27.lancs.ac.uk:2811//pnfs/lancs.ac.uk/data/hone/matttest.pdf completed setting file request -2146665624 status to Done Although I had a thought- would I have to change the grid-map files on all my nodes with a gridftp door on them, as I only changed the files on our head node. cheers, Matt
