Using Globus to access locker on GreatLakes

Following the link https://app.globus.org/file-manager?origin_id=824d7a3d-c8dc-42eb-aa8f-c9cbf5101669 and authorizing with the Umich SSO system gives you an interface that will show you the locker filesystem. E.g. /clasp-cjablono exists in this interface, but is not visible on the greatlakes filesystem.

Once you find the file you are looking for, run module load globus-cli in a shell on a GreatLakes login node.

An example of a command that copies a file from the locker system to /scratch/cjablono-root/owhughes is

globus transfer 824d7a3d-c8dc-42eb-aa8f-c9cbf5101669:/clasp-cjablono/owhughes/mountain_test_case_netcdf/dry_ne240.nc $GLOBUS_GREATLAKES:/scratch/cjablono_root/cjablono1/owhughes/dry_ne240.nc

If I recall correctly, you have to do some kind of authentication when you do this the first time. I think it was pretty self explanatory. Christiane, you probably want to try a command that looks like

globus transfer 824d7a3d-c8dc-42eb-aa8f-c9cbf5101669:/clasp-cjablono/owhughes/mountain_test_case_netcdf/dry_ne240.nc $GLOBUS_GREATLAKES:/scratch/cjablono_root/cjablono1/cjablono/dry_ne240.nc

Let me know how this goes.

In my .bashrc I define export GLOBUS_LOCKER="824d7a3d-c8dc-42eb-aa8f-c9cbf5101669". It's frankly bizarre that module load globus-cli doesn't define this variable automatically.
