Once you have obtained access to an ARCHIVE folder, you can transfer data two ways. The faster way uses the standard Unix utilities (such as cp, tar, etc) run on the HPC nodes, and is suitable for small transfers. The best way to transfer larger data sets uses the Globus service. Globus performance depends upon system traffic and network performance, however jobs are persistent after disconnecting which makes it more suitable for large transfers.
