Description From Joe Bester 2008-06-06 12:06:43

Stu and I have been having a disagreement about error messages returned to the
globusrun-ws user. One of the bits I don't particularly want to print out is:

500-Command failed : globus_gridftp_server_file.c:globus_l_gfs_file_stat:389:
500-System error in stat: No such file or directory
500-A system call failed: No such file or directory
500 End.

It would be nicer if it were the concise:
550 No such file or directory "/bad/path".

and if RFT could use the 550 to know that the file can't be accessed by the
user.
