Hello, I am a new Galaxy User. I am definitely not an expert in informatics, so my questions may sound silly to you... I apologize if it is the case! Anyway, I cound not establish a ftp connexion to Galaxy through Filezilla, and the error message suggests that it comes from an incorrect password to Galaxy. Here is the messages displayed by Filezilla (french version) while trying to connnect: Statut : Résolution de l'adresse de main.g2.bx.psu.edu Statut : Connexion à 128.118.250.4:21... Statut : Connexion établie, attente du message d'accueil... Réponse : 220 ProFTPD 1.3.4b Server (Galaxy Main Server FTP) [::ffff:128.118.250.4] Commande : USER fbesnard@biologie.ens.fr Réponse : 331 Password required for fbesnard@biologie.ens.fr Commande : PASS *************** Réponse : 530 Login incorrect. Erreur : Erreur critique Erreur : Impossible d'établir une connexion au serveur I was puzzled by this error message, because I do connect as user in the Galaxy website. As recommended, I use the SAME login (=email adress)/Password in both Galaxy login page and filezilla. I tried to reset my password and connect again: I could connect directly to the web site, but I still failed establishing a connexion via filezilla. I just created an account yesterday to Galaxy (Tuesday, 21th of May 2013). Maybe I should just wait a little bit for a synchronization of the user connexion parameters, should I? Moreover, my Filezilla is working with other ftp server, so that I think we can exclude that the problem comes from there. I extensively looked for similar trouble reports on internet (googling with other terms "530 Login incorrect"). Unfortunately, I could not solve this problem. However, I found that you were asked one year ago for a similar problem in this page: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2012-July/010457.html But I must confess that I could not understand most of what was written in this informatic experts discussion! By the way, my system is not an ubuntu, so I think that the solution you suggested would not work in my case. Here are the characteristics and versions of the systems installed on my computer: Operating system: Windows 7 professionnal, 64bits Filezilla Client 3.7.0.1 Firefox 20.0.1 I really thank you for reading this help message and I hope that you could explain me how to solve my problem. I look forward to reading your answer soon, Best regards, -- Fabrice Besnard Institute of Biology of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (IBENS) 46 rue d'Ulm, 75230 Paris cedex 05, France 8th floor.
