Hi Hans,
We did have a look at this but couldn't get it to work. But will try again.
Hi Steve, If there are problems with this method please do let us know so we can look in to it. Your thoughts about using the FTP upload as you describe should work fine. Unfortunately it is not written so generically, so you'll need to set an FTP server name in the appropriate option in the config file despite not having one, which will be displayed in the help text on the upload form. However, this server name is not verified in any way and can be any string. --nate
Thanks for the pointer,
Steve
I noticed the recent update to Galaxy that allowed users to put data on the galaxy FTP server and then import it into their history.
Would it be possible to use a similar mechanism to import data from the galaxy host file system but not use an FTP daemon? In our case we we would like to mount a volume to the galaxy file server and allow people to cp or mv data into it and then be able to import the data into their history.
Have you looked into "Data Libraries" ? There is also an option to allow uploading files by a non-admin user.
For details see the "# -- Data Libraries" section in the 'universe_wsgi.ini' file.

For example, In the context of the example at http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/UploadViaFTP could you set up a directory called '/home/nate/galaxy_dist/database/localfs/' instead of '/home/nate/galaxy_dist/database/ftp/' which contained email named directories and the files in these in these would be available to import via the upload UI? Or is it all tied into FTP?
Thanks for any advice,
