Transferring Data using Globus

Globus is a high-speed data transfer service. It is primarily used to transfer data between research institutions, but can also be used to transfer data between Beocat and a laptop or desktop. We suggest using Globus over other file transfer options if you are transferring large data sets. Globus also allows you to share data with those who do not have Beocat accounts.

Update The on-campus DTN has been shut down due to security issues. Please use the off-campus (FIONA) instructions, you can find it by searching for "Beocat Filesystem (new)". Also, Globus has updated their web interface so the video is out-of-date, but the basic process is unchanged.
