Globus connect

Installing Globus Connect

Globus Connect is pre-configured software that turns your laptop, server, cluster or other local resources into a Globus collection.

There are two versions of Globus Connect:

  • Globus Connect Personal - enables file transfer to and from your personal machine (laptop or desktop). A Globus Connect Personal collection is intended to be used only by a single user. Installation instructions are available on the Globus website

  • Globus Connect Server - enables system administrators to run a Globus collection on their server for data sharing. A Globus Connect Server collection can be used by multiple Globus users.

Please Note

To be able to use Globus Connect Personal you need adding to an access group. Contact us if you don't already have this ability.
