UCAR recommend us to use GLOBUS for large data transfering. Here is a brief tutorial and to transfer data from Yellowstone GLADE to a server.

First, you need to register on globus. (https://www.globus.org/) 

You may want to add your public key on Manage Identities tab (https://www.globus.org/account/ManageIdentities,  see http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-733034-869783.html for how to generate your public key)

Setting a end point on your computer (cluster, server, whatever)

$ wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/connect.globusonline.org/linux/stable/globusconnect-latest.tgz

$ tar xzf globusconnect-latest.tgz
$ cd globusconnectpersonal-x.y.z

$ ssh username@cli.globusonline.org
Welcome to globusonline.org, demodoc. Type 'help' for help.
$ endpoint-add my-linux-laptop --gc
Created the Globus Connect endpoint 'demodoc#my-linux-laptop'.
Use this setup key when installing Globus Connect:
   2a0a5d39-a534-4fe7-b78a-acdb00542c52
$ exit

$ ./globusconnectpersonal -setup 2a0a5d39-a534-4fe7-b78a-acdb00542c52
Configuration directory: /home/go_user/.globusonline/lta
Contacting relay.globusonline.org:2223
Installing certificate and key
Creating /home/go_user/.globusonline/lta/gridmap
Done!

$ ./globusconnectpersonal -start &
[1] 15268
$ ssh username@cli.globusonline.org endpoint-activate my-linux-laptop

after this, you can only access to your home directory from GLOBUS, you may need to modify /.globusonline/lta/config-paths

You will see:

~/,0,1

If you want to add /data/you directory to the authorized directories, add this line

/data/you/, 0,1

Then you need to restart globus.

$ ./globusconnectpersonal -stop

$ ./globusconnectpersonal -start &

Then, your end point is set. You may set yellowstone end point at Manage Data (https://www.globus.org/xfer/StartTransfer ).

Then, you are good to transfer your data.
