Setup
Enable the globus-cli modulefile:
You will need to connect your online Globus account to your Globus CLI session. Type: Follow the provided link to a browser, log into your UWEC/organization's network, and copy/paste the provided authentication link into your terminal.
Transferring Files
In order to transfer files, a user needs to write a transfer command that matches the following syntax:
Note
Make sure you provide the file's desired name in the destination path. Transfers do not work by only specifying a directory.
This is very closely related to the syntax of an scp command. The UUID acts as a host machine followed by a path, and the first path acts as the source while the second path the destination.
Assuming you are transferring data to or from the BOSE cluster, you will use one of the following UUIDs for your transfer command:
UWEC - BOSE Home Directories:
The second UUID will be the one of your PC which must have the Globus application installed, logged into, and setup as a collection.
If your PC's collection is owned by a user with an
@uwec.edu domain, the following command will list both yours and BOSE's endpoints:
For non-UWEC users, you can replace uwec with any keyword that might find your PC's collection (i.e. collection name, owner email, etc.)
Enabling Consent for PC's Collection
Attempting your first transfer command will have Globus CLI prompt you with a globus consent command which it will ask you to run. Copy, paste, and run the command, and follow the provided URL to approve your PC's Globus collection. You will now be able to successfully run transfer commands.
