The Globus project aims at providing powerful tools for scientific data management, to help researchers to focus on their domain subjects and solve data intensive research problems. Globus has been grown maturely to enable grid computing by connecting computing resources distributed globally across organizational boundary. Universities, national laboratories and computing facilities are using services of Globus.

A globus **Endpoint** is a data transfer location, a location where data can be moved to or from using Globus transfer, sync and sharing service. An endpoint can either be a ***personal endpoint*** (on a user’s personal computer) or a ***server endpoint*** (located on a server, for use by multiple users). Please see [Data Transfer With Globus](https://www.globus.org/data-transfer) for details.

**Globus Connect Server** is already installed on the NYU HPC cluster creating a ***Server Endpoint*** named **nyu#torch**, that is available to authorized users (users with a valid HPC account) using Globus. If you want to move data to or from your computer and the NYU HPC cluster, you need to install **[Globus Connect Personal](https://www.globus.org/globus-connect-personal)** on your computer, thus creating a ***Personal Endpoint*** on your computer.

To transfer files you need to specify two collections (endpoints). Specify one of them as **Torch scratch directory**, or **Torch archive directory** or **Torch home directory**. The other endpoint is the one created for your personal computer (e.g. My Mac Laptop) if it is involved in the transfer. When you first use the Torch directory collection, authentication/consent is required for the Globus web app to manage collections on this endpoint on your behalf.
