How to transfer files using GlobusOnline

Note: If you are registered to the DREAM VO as described on the DataTransfer page, it is also possible to copy just a small number of files by GridFTP or UberFTP as described on the GridSetup page. Consult that page for setup information needed at CERN or at your institution for how to set up the commands and DREAM VO information.

1. Log in to http://www.globusonline.org with dreamdaq account (ask Alan, Sehwook or Michele for the password).

   • If this is the first time you use Globus Online click on Globus Connect link to download the GO client to your pc and follow the instructions to register your machine.

   • Pick your are from there. For example, the reconstructed ntuples for 2015 can be found in the folder
     /lustre/hep/osg/dream/2015/storage/ntuple
