Globus: Difference between revisions

There are links on the [https://www.globus.org/globus-connect-personal Globus Connect Personal] page which walk you through the setup of Globus Connect Personal on the various operating systems, including setting it up from the command line on Linux. If you are running Globus Connect Personal from the command line on Linux, this [https://docs.globus.org/faq/globus-connect-endpoints/#how_do_i_configure_accessible_directories_on_globus_connect_personal_for_linux FAQ on the Globus site] describes configuring which paths you share and their permissions.

Note that if the Globus Connect Personal program at your endpoint is closed during a file transfer to or from that endpoint, the transfer will stop. To restart the transfer, simply reopen the program.

Once we have enabled sharing on the path, you will be able to create a new Globus shared endpoint for any subdirectory under that path. So for example you will be able to create the subdirectories:

Log into [https://globus.alliancecan.ca the Alliance Globus portal] with your Globus credentials. Once you are logged in, you will see a transfer window. In the <i>endpoint</i> field, type the endpoint identifier for the endpoint you wish to share from (e.g. computecanada#beluga-dtn, computecanada#cedar-dtn, computecanada#graham-globus, alliancecan#niagara etc.) and activate the endpoint, if asked to.

In the following form, the <i>Path</i> is relative to the share and because in many cases you simply want to share the whole collection, the path will be <code>/</code>. However, if you want to share only a sub-directory called "Subdir-01" with a specific group of people, you may specify <code>/Subdir-01/</code> or use the <i>Browse</i> button to select it.
