How to use Globus

Introduction

[Globus] is a non-profit service for moving, syncing, and sharing large amounts of data asynchronously in the background. Transfers are done from and to, so called, endpoints. In order to perform a file transfer from one location to another using the Globus service, both ends must have an endpoint. Several UCSF departments and services, including the Wynton HPC environment, provide Globus endpoints. This will allow you to transfer and share data efficiently with any other Globus user in the world.
