By default, only the $HOME folder is readable/writable
after setting up a new personal endpoint on a machine
(say, your laptop). You can make additional folders
accessible for Globus by editing this file:
$HOME/.globusonline/lta/config-pathsThis topic now has its own dedicated guide. ➡️ See the full guide here: Globus Downloads with enaBrowserTools
File paths can be found in the file report of an accessioned entry, and look like this:
ftp://ftp.sra.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/fastq/ERR323/000/ERR3239740/ERR3239740_1.fastq.gz
The same file can be located on the EBI/ENA Globus under this path:
/gridftp/ena/fastq/ERR323/000/ERR3239740/ERR3239740_1.fastq.gz
Note the simple change in the path prefix that distinguishes the FTP from the Globus location.
