I need to transfer data between collaborators

Ask yourself the following questions

  • How much data do you have to transfer? (number of files, total size on disk)
  • How sensitive is the data?
  • How far away is the collaborator?

Approaches

Publish

  • Create an Open Dataset
  • Describe and Publish the data on an Open Data Repository (Borealis, FRDR, etc)

Send

  • Ship physical media
  • Email
  • Globus
  • Other file transfer (scp)

Shared Space

  • Cloud storage
  • Academic cloud (DRAC)
  • Remote access

Large Data

  • Partition data
  • Resilient file transfer
    • Globus
    • rsync
