Transfer Action Provider: Transfer

URL: https://transfer.actions.globus.org/transfer

Synchronous / Asynchronous: Asynchronous

The Transfer action provider uses the Globus Transfer API’s task resources to submit an asynchronous transfer of data from one Globus Collection to another. The input includes both the source and destination collection ids and file paths within the collection where the source file or folder is located and the destination folder where the transfer should be placed.
