It turns out I had fat-fingered the key name in the config and had specified ftp_upoload_dir, once I noticed the typo and changed it to ftp_upload_dir everything works as expected. What threw me was that the "Choose FTP file" button appeared in the upload dialog even though the ftp_upload_dir was not specified. Looking at the log files I see 403 errors for GET /api/remote_files and when I try that URL in a browser I get some JSON with the error message, "The configuration of this Galaxy instance does not allow upload from FTP directories." I am not familiar enough with the Javascript client, but it looks like the logic used to determine whether or not to show the "Choose FTP file" button only checks if ftp_upload_site has been specified and not if ftp_upload_dir has been defined. - Keith

Hi Martin,
Yes, Galaxy has permission to read the files. I have only tested on my own workstation, so Galaxy runs as me, all the files/directories are owned by me, etc. but I will try on our dev server and see if it makes any difference. Would using an admin account be a problem?
And just to clarify, I am assuming I can do the following to get a file available in Galaxy (where the ftp_upload_dir is /home/galaxy/database/ftp):
$> mkdir -p /home/galaxy/database/ftp/suderman@cs.vassar <mailto:home/galaxy/database/ftp/suderman@cs.vassar>.edu $> echo "Hello world." > /home/galaxy/database/ftp/suderman@cs.vassar.edu <mailto:home/galaxy/database/ftp/suderman@cs.vassar.edu>/Hello.txt $> chown -R galaxy:galaxy /home/galaxy/database/ftp
Thanks, Keith

Hi Keith,
your message is not bouncing, it shows here: http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/ <http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/> Your setup seems correct to me, does Galaxy have permission to read files in the given folders?
Also Galaxy will auto-create folders if set the `user_library_import_dir` to be the same as ftp and use `#user_library_import_dir_auto_creation: false`

Also for the list admins... I never did see my message appear on the list and the message Cicada replied to appears to be from galaxy-dev-bounces@lists.galaxyproject.org <mailto:galaxy-dev-bounces@lists.galaxyproject.org>. Any ideas why my message(s) appear to be bouncing. I am pretty sure I am sending from the correct address.
Cheers, Keith

I think you have to create the user's directories under /home/galaxy/database/ftp. I don't think Galaxy will create them if they are not there. Cicada

Hello,
I am trying to (ab)use the FTP file upload functionality to get data from an external service into Galaxy. From my reading of the docs I simply need to configure the ftp_upload_dir and ftp_upload_site in my galaxy.ini (haven't migrated to yaml yet) and Galaxy will expect to find subdirectories named after the user's account (email) in the ftp_upload_dir.
I have configured the ftp_upload_dir (/home/galaxy/database/ftp in our case) and the "Choose FTP File" button is now available in the Upload dialog, however regardless of where I put files, or what I name them, Galaxy always reports that "Your FTP directory does not contain any files." For example, if I have the user account user@example.org <mailto:user@example.org> I would expect to be able to place files in /home/galaxy/database/ftp/user@example.org <mailto:home/galaxy/database/ftp/user@example.org> and they will be available in the Upload dialog for the user@example.org <mailto:user@example.org> user. However, this is not working; am I missing something?
Thanks, Keith
