To transfer data from your laptop/workstation to a NOAA RDHPCS system, you can

* use scp to a NOAA RDHPCS DTN (using pre-configured ssh port tunnels)
* use scp to a NOAA RDHPCS UDTN
* use Globus Connect Personal to transfer data between a NOAA RDHPCS
* Use Globus Connect Personal to transfer data between a NOAA RDHPCS
UDTN and your local laptop/workstation.
* Use ``scp`` to a NOAA RDHPCS UDTN, using configured ssh port tunnels.
* Use ``scp`` to a NOAA RDHPCS UDTN where permitted (Jet, Hera)

.. note::

NOAA RDHPCS considers your laptop/workstation a Globus Untrusted Endpoint.

Some benefits of using Globus Connect Personal with UDTNs:
Benefits of using Globus Connect Personal with UDTNs:

* Data can be transferred directly between your computer and an
Untrusted Endpoint.
* Faster transfer rates as compared to scp and sftp.
* Data transfers automatically suspends and resumes as your computer
* Much faster transfer rates compared to ``scp`` and ``sftp``.
* Data transfers automatically suspend and resume as your computer
goes to sleep, wakes up, or reboots.

* This data sharing feature is only available only on *untrusted* Globus endpoints (UDTNs).
* Sharing happens at directory level and not at the level of individual files.
* You can only share directories under the root of the ``/*/data_untrusted/$USER`` directory. All UDTNs have that directory.
* Do not share based only on an email address. The person with whom you share should have a GlobusID.

* You can only share directories under your ``/*/data_untrusted/$USER`` directory.

must login to the system (Niagara, Ursa (WIP), Hera, Jet, ...) at least once,
to make sure that the account is properly set up the with the necessary
home and project directories.
* It may be necessary to create (``mkdir``) your ``/*/data_untrusted/$USER``
directory, depending on the system.
