Creating shared globus directories: sharing data with users outside of teton

Globus is a tool that UWyo uses for transfer of large data files or collections with collaborators that don’t have easy access otherwise. It allows you to assign read or write permissions. You can share it with just an email. If transferring from a personal machine, one must download Globus Connect Personal. For more information on Globus.
