If you did not use Globus, or if you did but did not check "verify file integrity", make sure that the data you have transferred are not corrupted. A crude way to do this is to compare file sizes at the source with file sizes at the destination. For greater confidence you can use [http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/cksum.1.html cksum] or [http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/md5sum.1.html md5sum] at each end, and see that the results match. Any files with mismatching sizes or checksums should be transferred again.
