Globus - error while copying output files to local machine

Problem:
Submitting job with copying output files in fileStageOut.

Error:

globusrun-ws: Job failed: Staging error for RSL element fileStageOut
Connection creation error [Caused by: Connection refused]

RSL job description:
(Damn! Blogger doesn't allow to publish XML)

Cause:
Globus uses gsiftp from ng2 under allocated grid user (grid-bestgrid). My local machine doesn't have either host certificate or user certificate for grid-bestgrid user.

Solution:
  • Apply for a host certificate for my local machine. I don't really need it now. But other users might do need.
  • Create a script to run a job and add globus-url-copy command to copy files from the gateway to local machine. Files should be deleted on the gateway in the script or in other way. fileStageOut/delete doesn't useful in this case.
