Description
What would you like to see added?
Although XIAS users can create a Globus account, they cannot access any UAB Globus endpoints. Currently, Globus data transfer is not supported for XIAS accounts on UAB Globus endpoints. This limitation has to be documented to help users understand their available alternatives for data transfer.
XIAS users can use the following alternative methods for data transfer:
-
Command-line tools: Use scp, rclone, rsync, or sftp for transferring data.
See Data Transfer documentation
. -
Collaborate and share data via sponsor’s shared project space: Store or share data within the sponsor’s project directory for internal collaboration.
-
Also, for external data transfer, XIAS users may request their sponsor (with UAB credentials) to perform the transfer.
Where to include these changes?
