Globus

Globus Connect allows for transfers between Globus collections. This can be useful, for example, when migrating from one High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster to another.

Using Globus Connect in your browser

1. Know which two Globus collections you want to transfer between. One is presumably Unity. The other could be your local machine if you install Globus Connect Personal.

2. Go to app.globus.org. If prompted, select your university and login with their identity provider.

3. Go to the File Manager and select either collection in your transfer. At the time of this writing, there is more than one collection named Unity. Paste the following string into the search box to select Unity’s Globus endpoint: acda5457-9c06-4564-8375-260ba428f22a

Once you select a collection, there should be two mirrored panels. If not, select the split panel layout in the top right:

4. Select the other collection involved in your transfer. This takes you back to the collection search page. Of the two split panels, each has a Collection, a Path, a number of selected files, and a Start button to copy the selected files to the other side. Below is one panel:

5. Configure your transfer and press ‘Start’.**
