Sharing data from HPC to collaborators outside ODU

Technical Support
#1

Hi,

How do I share research data with our collaborators at (XYZ) university? Can I do this from HPC?

#2

Yes, you can! You can use Globus to do just this. Please read the following documentation to learn how to share data with researchers outside of ODU:

Pssst: Globus can also be used to perform data transfer to/from HPC. Please read https://wiki.hpc.odu.edu/Software/Globus/ to learn more about this.

Is there any way to use GLOBUS to connect to the high-volume directory /bscratch/ ? Currently, I transfer files from /home/$USER to /bscratch/$USER directly in a terminal using ‘cp’ or ‘mv’, but these are slow. Maybe GLOBUS would be faster? I have a pretty large dataset.
