  ssh stage.uabgrid.uab.edu

You need a UABgrid certificate.
- The link for UABgrid CA is in UABgrid Documentation.
- Obtain an account on UABgrid first; you will have to log in to get the certificate.
From UABgrid CA, go to "Manage Your UABgrid User Certificate."
Download the user key and certificate. Save them to Desktop as userkey.pem and usercert.pem.
Make a .globus directory on stage and copy the files to it:

 mkdir .globus
 mv Desktop/user* .globus
 ls -lc .globus
 cd .globus 
 chmod 400 userkey.pem
 cd $HOME

 grid-proxy-init

This will bring up a request for your GRID passphrase. Enter the passphrase that was used when the private key was created.
The Swift website contains an excellent tutorial on scripting with Swift.
