Access Data with the Globus UI

Globus is a fast, convenient, and secure method to move, share and discover data via a single web interface. It lets you access multiple sources of data (HPC cluster, Cloud storage, Local Workstation or Laptop) by allowing you to use your organization's authentication and identity to connect to endpoints that provide access to data storage, all in a web browser.

Prior to accessing GHub data via Globus, submit a CCR or GHub ticket specifying the dataset you would like to access, your username, institutional email address and home institution. The GHub administrators will enable your access to the endpoint.

Accessing GHub endpoints via Globus UI

Access the Globus user interface here: https://app.globus.org/

In the browser window, select your organization or home institution and click Continue:

Globus web app login

Your organization or home institution will prompt you to perform authentication as recognized by Globus. This step will vary according to your organization.

Once you are logged in, the Globus File Manager page will display. Typing "ghub" in the Search text box results in the following listing of GHub endpoints:

Entering ghub into the search box displays the ghub endpoints

Globus displays all known endpoints that match your search. You may not have access to all displayed endpoints. Click on the name of an endpoint to which you have access, and Globus will display the endpoint's contents.

For example, here we view the 'GHub CESM' endpoint contents. This endpoint contains the CESM ice sheet forcing data files from CMIP6 experiments:
