Using Globus

Fast, reliable, and secure file transfer among ACCESS resources or between ACCESS and your campus, lab server, or personal computer.

How Globus helps with ACCESS

Globus handles what scp and rsync can’t — reliable, background transfer of large data between any two systems, with built-in sharing and automation.

Move data between ACCESS resources, your campus cluster, a lab server, or home. Handles both terabyte-scale files and thousands of small files equally well.
Share data with colleagues at any institution — no ACCESS account required on their end. You control what is shared and with whom.
Synchronize copies between campus and ACCESS, keeping data current in all locations.
Automate data workflows with the Globus CLI, Python SDK, or REST APIs.

Data sharing, managed task orchestration, and other premium Globus features are available to all ACCESS-allocated researchers at no extra cost under an ACCESS-wide subscription.
