Globus transfers happen between "collections" (formerly known as "endpoints" in previous Globus versions). Most | Globus transfers happen between "collections" (formerly known as "endpoints" in previous Globus versions). Most Alliance clusters have some standard collections set up for you to use. To transfer files to and from your computer, you need to create a collection for it. This requires a bit of setup initially, but once it has been done, transfers via Globus require little more than making sure the Globus Connect Personal software is running on your machine. More on this below under [[#Personal Computers|Personal Computers]]. | ||

For example, if you are activating a collection hosted on Graham, you will be asked for your Alliance username and password. The authentication of a collection remains valid for some time - typically one week for CC collections while personal collections do not expire. | ||

Sharing enables people to access files stored on your account on an Alliance cluster even if the other user does not have an account on that system. Files can be shared with any user, anywhere in the world, who has a Globus account. See [https://docs.globus.org/how-to/share-files/ How To Share Data Using Globus]. | ||
