Personal Endpoint file-transfer and sharing

If you need to share files from your personal computer or move files between two personal computers, you need to be part of a subscription with Globus Plus enabled.

Globus Plus is a part of NeSI's Globus subscription. To join Globus Plus, you must become a member of the Globus sponsor group New Zealand eScience Infrastructure.

Check if your account already has this membership by viewing the Globus Plus tab under your Account:
