1. Login In to Globus and Choose Ivy Collection

   • Disconnect your High Security VPN – it will interfere with the high security network that Globus uses.
   • Open https://www.globus.org/ and sign in through the University of Virginia using NetBadge.
   • Once you are on the Transfer Files page, at the first “Collection” type ivy to search. Find the uva#ivy-DTN collection and select it.
   • You will then be asked to authenticate.
   • Once signed in, simply click through the names of your shares until you find the source or destination for your file transfers.

2. Navigate to Your Personal Collection

   • In another pane repeat the process of searching for a collection, but use the name of your personal collection.
     NOTE: Ivy is designed for security for research on sensitive data. Sensitive data should never be stored on or transmitted from personal laptops.
   • Once you have moved your data to High-Security Research Standard Storage using Globus, you may need to copy it to your Ivy VM Storage. Double-click the Desktop icon labeled “High-Security Research Standard Storage” to see the files you transferred with Globus (a file explorer window will appear). Double-click the Desktop icon labeled “VM Storage” to see the files that currently exist in your VM storage. To copy data from High-Security Research Standard Storage to the VM, you can drag files from the High-Security Research Standard Storage file explorer window to the VM storage file explorer window, or you can use traditional copy+paste functions. The decision to work off of your data on the local hard drive versus on the High-Security Research Standard Storage drive should be driven by the size of your data, and how much your research needs to read from and write to it.
