Hello Alessandro,

You can upload files from filesystem paths to a Galaxy data library without copying the files into Galaxy's configured file directory.  This approach should provide what you're looking to do.  See our wiki at http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Uploading%20Library%20Files for all of the details.

Dear all,

I have a problem with galaxy and I have already tried to write on ther user list....
My problem concern the upload on galaxy of new files.

We are setting up a galaxy istance on our server (HPC Cluster with torque and PBS) for internal use.
Our problem is that we manage only NGS data (SOLiD and Illumina Data) that are already stored on the server. 
We tried to set up the user directory in the universe_wgsi.ini file to allow to any user tu upload their local files, but adding new file and re-uploading the dir we found duplicated files (it seems that galaxy re-upload every time all the files ignoring if some are already present). This method is OK for us but how can we avoid the file duplications ?

In a presentation found on web (blankenberg_pittsburg_2001), we saw that there is the possibility to automatically upload the sequenced reads on Galaxy (and let them available to all our user). Where can we find information for doing this ?


Thank in advance

All the best 

Alessandro
