 Globus is a software tool to transfer files across the web in a reliable, high-performance and secure way. It provides fault-tolerant, fire-and-forget data transfer using simple web (or command line) interfaces. It is appropriate for transferring very large files and datasets. Globus is a software tool to transfer files across the web in a reliable, high-performance and secure way.
