+This guide is intended to describe the process of connecting to [Globus](https://www.globus.org) to transfer data collected at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) and stored using the APS Data Management System to a computer at a users home institution. 
+
+## Requirements
+
+The user external user will need an account that allows logging into the Globus site. Some 
+institutions which regularly use Globus have arranged for users to log into Globus 
+using credentials from the institutions login system.  Argonne, for instance is one 
+of those sites.  When a user selects to login to Globus the first page will prompt 
+the user to select from a list of organizations.  An example of this is shown below.
