Globus is a service that enables large file transfers securely. You must have an account with Globus before you use it to upload investigation files to CSSI DCC. If you do not already have an account, you are prompted to create one when you start the upload process.
To upload files using Globus
- Begin uploading your ISA archive by creating a folder in CSSI DCC, as described in Uploading ISA Archives.
On the Upload ISA Archives page, click
Upload with Globus. If you have not yet logged into Globus, a log in page appears.
Globus Documentation and Support
For more information about using Globus, consult their documentation and/or support:
After you successfully log in, the Globus File Manager page appears. The system has already populated the destination endpoint on the right (/_upload_target/...), which is the folder you selected in DCC.
On the left, select the starting endpoint and select the file or files you want to upload. Navigate to the file or files, if necessary.
Click the Start button that points to the destination to begin the transfer request. A message briefly appears on the screen when the transfer request is submitted successfully. When the transfer succeeds, Globus sends a notification email message.
In the DCC Upload ISA Archives page, notice that a new folder appears in the list of folders at the top of the page. Click Open in the row for that folder. At this point, the new folder contains only one investigation version.
Consider making this version open access so that the general public can use it in CSSI DCC. For instructions on previewing it and making it open access, refer to Making an Investigation Open Access.
