Example Flows

Perform a file or directory transfer with a time limit.

Perform a 'move' operation on a directory by first transferring from a source to a destination and then deleting from the source.

The entire directory’s contents, including files and subdirectories, will be copied to the destination and then deleted from the source.

Copy data to a Guest Collection and create a new read-only permission to allow a user or group to read the data from that location.

Transfer from source to intermediate and then from intermediate to destination. Remove from intermediate after completion.

Allow users to submit an approval request to transfer a file to a destination Guest Collection.

Use transfer and deletion to 'move' files from a source to a destination, in batches of 100 files. Repeat this process until the source directory is empty.

Use Globus Compute to bundle files into a tarball, which you then transfer using Globus Transfer.

Two examples are included here, one in which the files are located on the server which runs Globus Compute, and one in which the files are on a user’s machine and must be moved to the Compute host.
