Introduction

The GACRC, on behalf of UGA, recently procured an institutional standard subscription to Globus for secure, reliable management of UGA's research data. Globus is a high-performance data-transfer platform that allows you to perform and/or automate:

  • Data transfers between servers in your group.
  • Data transfers between a server and your laptop.
  • Sharing data with researchers at other institutions.
  • Sharing data with the world.

Data transfers happen unattended and are faster than SCP/SFTP, data verification is on by default, and automatic restarts or continuation of transfers happen after a disruption.

Getting Started

If you are a first time user of Globus, you will need to create an Identity Account. At a minimum you will need to setup your identity using the University of Georgia organizational login in order to access UGA systems.

  • Go to https://globus.org and choose Login in the upper right corner.
  • Search for University of Georgia in the “Use your existing organizational login" box.
  • Choose continue and you will be forwarded to a UGA Single Sign-On (SSO) login page. You will also need to authenticate with Duo (two-factor authentication).


Detailed information with screenshots are provided by Globus at their Getting Started page.

Access UGA GACRC Storage

GACRC maintains a UGA GACRC Collection that can be used to access the Sapelo2 /home, /scratch, /work, and /project file systems.

After you have logged in to Globus, click the File Manager link at the top-left of the window.

In the Collection search box, enter GACRC and you should see UGA GACRC Collection in the list.
