Globus File Transfer Instructions
How to move files from Andromeda to Unity
Based on https://daniellembecker.github.io/DanielleBecker_Lab_Notebook/Data-Transfer-Andromeda-GlobusConnectPersonal-Pipeline/
The first time you do this in Andromeda, you have to set up your access/account:
- Load modules and start setup
interactive
module load GlobusConnectPersonal/3.2.0
globusconnectpersonal
- Your terminal will say:
Will now attempt to run globusconnectpersonal -setup
Globus Connect Personal needs you to log in to continue the setup process.
We will display a login URL. Copy it into any browser and log in to get a single-use code. Return to this command with the code to continue setup.
-
Follow the link (starts with https://auth.globus.org), login with URI SSO credentials, to receive authorization code
- Enter the auth code into the terminal
- Enter “~/data/putnamlab/” as endpoint when prompted
- Record the endpoint string that is given here
- Edit your globus config file to make the endpoint readable and writeable
nano ~/.globusonline/lta/config-paths
Enter the following and save the file:
/data/putnamlab/,0,1
Once you’re set up, here is how to transfer files:
- You first need to activate the endpoint from Andromeda:
interactive
module load GlobusConnectPersonal/3.2.0
globusconnectpersonal -start &
- On Globus Connect in your browser (https://www.globus.org):
- Login
- Go to the File Manager and in the Collection field on the left, enter the personal endpoint string that was spit out by the globus setup above
- Select acda5457-9c06-4564-8375-260ba428f22a (exact address of Unity) in the collection field on the right
- Select the files or folders you want to transfer from Andromeda to Unity and press ‘Start’.
