[galaxy-dev] browse directories on galaxy server

Is there any desire to create a way in galaxy to browse local directories on the galaxy server itself? Not the client machine running the web browwser, but the machine on which galaxy is running. I've created a tool that allows a user to upload a single file from their own personal directory on the galaxy server into galaxy directly, without going through Apache. However, this is very limiting. It would be very helpful to be able to browse directories that are deemed accessible to the galaxy user, and before I begin trying to develop anything I'd like to know if there is any support for such a feature.
