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]].

The above steps are only needed once, to setup the endpoint.  For further file transfer operations, one has to make sure Globus Connect Personal is running, i.e., start the program, and ensure that the endpoint isn't paused.
