Data Transfer to Freezer

Note

This service is still in the testing phase

We are currently trialing the transfer of data to and from Freezer using Globus. We currently have a new Globus Collection to Freezer called: NeSI Freezer. You will need to authenticate using your Freezer (S3) credentials. Please let us know if you would like some assistance or are having any difficulties with this service.

Setting up Freezer Credentials

  1. Go to the File Manager tab of your Globus page in the left hand menu bar. Under the Collection field, search for and select the NeSI Freezer collection, then click the blue Continue button. Globus_Freezer_Collection.png

  2. You will need to authenticate with an identity from NeSI Keycloak. Click on Use my user_id@iam.nesi.org.nz identity text. Globus_Transfer_5.png

  3. In the next window, click Allow. Globus_Freezer_Manage_Data.png
