To transfer files between HCC clusters, you will first need to
activate the
two endpoints you would like to use (the available endpoints
are: hcc#crane
hcc#swan
, and hcc#attic
). Once
that has been completed, follow the steps below to begin transferring
files. (Note: You can also transfer files between an HCC endpoint and
any other Globus endpoint for which you have authorized access. That
may include a personal
endpoint,
a shared
endpoint,
or an endpoint on another computing resource or cluster. Once the
endpoints have been activated, the file transfer process is generally
the same regardless of the type of endpoints you use. For demonstration
purposes we use two HCC endpoints.)
Once both endpoints for the desired file transfer have been
activated, sign in to
your Globus account (if you are not already) and select
“Transfer or Sync to..” from the right sidebar. If you have
a small screen, you may have to click the menu icon
first.
Enter the names of the two endpoints you would like to use, or
select from the drop-down menus (for
example, hcc#attic
and hcc#crane
). Enter the
directory paths for both the source and destination (the ‘from’ and
‘to’ paths on the respective endpoints). Press ‘Enter’ to view files
under these directories. Select the files or directories you would
like to transfer (press shift or control to make multiple
selections) and click the blue highlighted arrow to start the
transfer.
Globus will display a message when your transfer has completed
(or in the unlikely event that it was unsuccessful), and you will
also receive an email. Select the ‘refresh’ icon to see your file
in the destination folder.
