Globus file transfer 
Globus is a non-profit service for secure, reliable research data management and transfer. Transferring files via Globus is quick and is not affected by network glitches that may corrupt the transferred file. All of our files on this page can be downloaded from Globus and this is the preferred method for file transfer if you want to download more than one file, as it is far quicker for the user. Help on using Globus and how to retrieve our files via the resource can be found in our Globus help page.
If you know about Globus and you have used this resource before, a link to our collection to use with the File Manager can be found below:
