- If you prefer interactive transfer with a shiny GUI, you might want to try out [FileZilla (Linux/Mac/Win)](https://filezilla-project.org/), [WinSCP (Win only)](https://winscp.net/eng/download.php), or [Cyberduck (Mac/Win)](https://cyberduck.io/download/).
If you need to transfer data and have no direct access to the remote computer system (`scp`, `rsync` etc. not possible), you can use the [Globus Transfer service](https://www.globus.org/data-transfer). It is free for non-profit organizations and all UoC members can login via [Shibboleth](https://www.shibboleth.net/) and their UoC credentials.
If you need to transfer data and have no direct access to the remote computer system (`scp`, `rsync` etc. not possible), you can use the [Globus Transfer service](https://www.globus.org/data-transfer). It is free for non-profit organizations, and all UoC members can login via [Shibboleth](https://www.shibboleth.net/) and their UoC credentials. You can either use the Globus [personal end point](https://docs.globus.org/globus-connect-personal/install/linux/) or a [web-based interface](https://app.globus.org/) for transferring your data:
1. You can install the Globus Connect personal endpoint in your home directory on Ramses and use it to download data as described in these instructions: https://docs.globus.org/globus-connect-personal/install/linux/. In order for the graphical interface for installation and setup to work, you must enable X-forwarding when logging in to Ramses (via `ssh -X` or `ssh -Y <user@ramses>`).
2. Alternatively, you can download the data via a web-based Globus Transfer interface. To do this, enable X forwarding again when logging in to Ramses, open a browser (with the command “firefox” on the terminal) and log in with your Uni-Koeln account via Shibboleth at the URL “app.globus.org”. You should then be able to see and download the data set shared with you.
