Replication with Globus Online

If you have used the Replication client to emit an output file for use with Globus Online, this document covers what to do with the file from there.

The basic steps to using Globus Online are:

1. Visit http://www.globusonline.org and create an account, or sign-on using your existing account ( https://www.globusonline.org/signon/signon ). When you have an account, you must first add your SSH key using the online interface. Once that is configured, you are granted access to the CLI (command line interface).

2. Activate the endpoints by specifying your ESG MyProxy server. You can do it using the CLI interface like this:

    ssh -t [email protected] endpoint-activate -m ESGF-MyProxyServer -U MyProxyUserName
   

3. Use the CLI to initiate the transfer. An example session might looks like this:

    # Assuming the emitted replication client output file is called "replication-output",
    # start the transfer using the CLI like this.
   
    cat replication-output | ssh [email protected] transfer -d 360
   

4. You can then check the status of your transfers using the CLI using a command of this form:

    ssh [email protected] status
   

5. Or you can monitor your transfers on the web using the Globus Online monitoring page. To see this, first logon, and then visit:
