Overview
This document outlines the steps to pull data from an external Globus endpoint using the Globus Connect Personal client. Dartmouth College does not have a Globus endpoint that allows collaborators to pull data from us.
Install the Globus command line client in your DartFS home
# Connect to andes or another HPC node
$ ssh YOUR_NETID@andes
# Download the Globus Connect Personal client
$ wget https://downloads.globus.org/globus-connect-personal/linux/stable/globusconnectpersonal-latest.tgz
# Exact the downloaded zip file and then delete it
$ tar zxvf globusconnectpersonal-latest.tgz
$ rm -f globusconnectpersonal-latest.tgz
# Enter the extracted directory
$ cd globusconnectpersonal-3.2.2
Authorize the client to act as a Globus endpoint on your behalf
