Globus: Difference between revisions

Globus sharing is enabled for the home directory. By default we disable sharing on /project to prevent users accidentally sharing other users' files. If you would like to test a Globus share you can create one in your home directory.

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

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 ‘endpoint’ field, type the endpoint identifier for the endpoint you wish to share from (e.g. computecanada#beluga-dtn, computecanada#cedar-dtn, computecanada#graham-globus, computecanada#niagara etc.) and activate the endpoint, if asked to.  

Select a folder that you wish to share, then click the "Share" button to the right of the folder list.

Click on the "Add a Guest Collection" button in the top right corner of the screen.

Give the new share a name that is easy for you and the people you intend to share it with to find. You can also adjust from where you want to share using the "Browse" button. Note that path in this case is relative to the share and that in many cases you simply want to share the endpoint, so the path will be just <code>"/"</code>.
