 ====== Using Globus to transfer data ======
+:!: ** Please note: ** :!:
+ Due to the previous version of Globus having been "end-of-lifed" at the end of 2023, it has been necessary to update the Globus software version on the CHPC's data transfer node.  Unfortunately, this has introduced two additional steps in the process:
+  - The need to register a free Globus-ID, which you can get [[https://www.globusid.org/create|here]]
+  - Request the CHPC to associate your Globus-ID with your Lengau login ID.

   - Generate a Setup Key for installation
   - Download and install the software
+  - You will be prompted to log into Globus:
+      * If you have an email address from an institution that has a Globus subscription, use that email address.
+      * If you do not have such an email address, use any of your valid email addresses to register and log into Globus.  You can then register a free Globus-ID when prompted.
+  - Once you have a valid Globus-ID or other Globus-aware email address, contact the [[https://users.chpc.ac.za/helpdesk|CHPC helpdesk]] and request that your Globus-ID be associated with your Lengau login ID.

-Once you have the software running, it will prompt for the setup key.  Once you have the software running (as a web client), you can search for and select the CHPC's endpoint with the search terms ''CHPC South Africa - Lengau'', which will bring up the server dtn.chpc.ac.za.  Use your Lengau login credentials to authenticate on that endpoint.
