There are several steps that need to be taken in order to make this work. The simplest method is to use Globus Connect Personal client with Plus subscription. Following is a list of steps required:

  1. Request a Globus Connect Personal Plus subscription:
    1. Send email to globus@tech.alliancecan.ca with your information and ask to be added to the Globus Personal Plus subscription
    2. Receive Globus Personal Plus invitation and follow the instructions within.
  2. On each cloud instance involved in the data transfer, enable Globus Connect Personal:
    1. Read the relevant guides for Globus Connect Personal: Personal Computers and https://www.globus.org/globus-connect-personal
    2. Install Globus Connect Personal on each instance, using the proper guide. The guide for Linux is https://docs.globus.org/how-to/globus-connect-personal-linux/
    3. Adjust instances’ configuration to enable communication with the Globus Service:
      1. Ensure each VM has an external IP address.
      2. Ensure firewall rules on your VMs permit communication on the necessary ports. See also Managing_your_cloud_resources_with_OpenStack#Security_Groups.
      3. The user running Globus Connect Personal must have access to data on the instances’ storage systems.
    4. Run Globus Connect Personal as a background process in user space.
    5. As a Globus Connect Personal Plus subscriber (enabled in step 1), create a shared endpoint on one or both VMs.
  3. Using any Globus Interface (globus.org, globus.computecanada.ca) access both endpoints just created and transfer data:
