Globus Upload and Download

	== Globus Upload and Download ==		== Globus Upload and Download ==

			Globus is a web-based system that provides a GUI that allows you to
			upload and download files to or from Beocat. It does not require a DUO
			allocation so you can transfer whole directories without compressing them
			into a single file. You can do these transfers using the <b>globus.org</b>
			website without any configuration, but these transfer over https which can
			be flaky for larger transfers. You can also set up your own endpoint on your
			laptop or desktop which provides more reliability, but at the moment that method
			does not work if you are on campus (we are working with Central IT to correct this).

			[[File:Globus-login.png\|800px]]

			Start by logging into Globus at [https://globus.org https://globus.org]. You will
			log in with your K-State credentials, so start typing <b>Kansas State University</b>
			in the box then use your K-State eID and password, plus you will be DUO authenticated.

			[[File:Globus-filemanager.png\|800px]]

			Once you are logged in, click on the <b>FILE MANAGER</b> option on the top left.
			This will be area where you will be doing all your file transfers.
			Next choose the Beocat endpoint by clicking in the <b>Collection</b> search box
			and typing <b>beocat</b>.

			[[File:Globus-BeocatCollection.png\|800px]]

			This should pop up the Beocat Filesystem and a brief technical description.
			Click on that to choose this as your primary endpoint for the transfers.

			[[File:Globus-path.png\|800px]]

			Next click in the <b>Path</b> search box and type in your home directory path
			then hit <b>return</b> and the Beocat files on your home directory will be displayed.
			You can use this Path box to navigate to any subdirectory you want, or you can
			navigate by clicking on the directories themselves.

			To download a file from Beocat to your system, click on the file or directory
			as in the green rectangle then click on the <b>Download</b> option.

			[[File:Globus-access.png\|800px]]

			You may need to go through the K-State authentication for the first download.

			This can
			be repeated as many times as you wish to download files and directories from
			Beocat to your local system.

			[[File:Globus-upload.png\|800px]]

			To upload files or directories to Beocat, start by clicking the <b>Upload</b>
			option as in the red rectangle then click the <b>Select Files to Upload</b>
			and choose your file or directory.

			= Setting up and using a local endpoint =

	[[File:Globus-2panel.png\|800px]]		[[File:Globus-2panel.png\|800px]]

			If you plan on using Globus often, it can be more convenient to set up a local
			endpoint on your own system too. This allows you to see your files as well as
			those on Beocat, and transfer easily in either direction. It is also a more
			reliable connection for transferring large files, though again this currently
			doesn't work if you are on campus due to the ports being blocked.

			Start by clicking on the 2-panel view highlighted in a red box as above,
			then click in the second <b>Collections</b> search box highlighted by the
			green rectangle.

			[[File:Globus-installEndpoint.png\|800px]]

			At the bottom there will be a link <b>Get Globus Connect Personnel</b>.
			Follow these directions to download and install the Globus app for your
			computer system.

			[[File:Globus-EndpointUpload.png\|800px]]

			Once installed, you can set the path on your local system. Then you can
			transfer files in either direction. The example above shows choosing the
			file on my local system in the red rectangle, then clicking on the <b>Start</b>
			option.
