Globus allows for the fast and efficient transfer of files between two Globus “endpoints”, one of which has been set up on the GreatLakes cluster.
You can copy files between your computer and the cluster by doing the following:
- Setup an endpoint on your personal computer by following the directions for your OS
Globus Connect Personal for Mac
Globus Connect Personal for Linux
Globus Connect Personal for Windows - Login to Globus via https://www.globus.org/ and use an existing organizational login
- Enter your Duo 2-factor authtentication
- On the left side search for the “greatlakes” collection and add the “umich#greatlakes” collection. This should point to your home directory on the cluster.
- On the right side search for the endpoint you setup on the first step
- You can then select files and directories on the left side and select to transfer or sync to the right side and then push “Start” when you are ready to schedule a transfer.
Globus will attempt to transfer the files when it can and will resume the transfer if it is interrupted.
You can check the status of the transfer in the Globus portal and you will receive an email once the status of the transfer changes.
with your service and volume name to have it added.
