Hello.
We have a TrueNAS server (based on FreeBSD) for our lab storage. We want to transfer the data directly between the NAS and the university endpoint(not via the PC).
I've tried some options:
1. Globus Connect Personal. It's not available on Unix. Also Globus Connect Server is not available.
2. Installed globus-cli with pip. I can login, create an endpoint but don't know how to activate it. Sorry but I have zero knowledge on myproxy server. Since the endpoint is "Private — Visible only to you", why is it so complicated to setup the credential?
Best regards

I don't know if this will be a welcome suggestion to you, but having
some passing (not deep!) familiarity with TrueNAS, I believe it can
support running VMs via the bhyve hypervisor. So one option is simply to
spin up a linux VM and host the globus endpoint on there. You'd probably
still have to share the storage volume from FreeNAS to the VM over NFS.
This works for some casual linux applications and containers on my home
FreeBSD system, I can't say I've done this in a work/production
environment (having said that it's worked well for several years).
