## ALCF Globus Endpoints
The Globus endpoint and the path to use depends on where your data resides. If your data is on:

- `/home` which is where your home directory resides: `alcf#dtn_home` for accessing `/home` (i.e. home directories on swift-home filesystem). Use the path `/<username\>`

Maybe add a sentence or two explaining that the Grand filesystem is no longer available as a mount point for new project dirs, but the Globus endpoint is still active)? Or perhaps that can be put elsewhere with more details including the dates it was available etc, e.g. docs/data-management/filesystem-and-storage/file-systems.md and this file can refer to it?


After [registering](https://app.globus.org/), simply use the appropriate ALCF endpoint, as well as other sources or destinations. Use your ALCF credentials (your OTP generated by the CryptoCARD token with PIN or Mobilepass app) to activate the ALCF endpoint.
