I&#39;m trying to figure out if I can do this all through the API (so I can skip setting up FTP servers and sharing database servers). <div>I can scan one system, and initiate downloads on the destination system (using upload1). So as far as moving files from one machine to another, it should be fine. I could push all the data, with correct names, annotations and tags. </div>
<div>But then it becomes a matter of the pushing the metadata onto the object on the destination system. But there are two problems, </div><div>1) No way to push tool info and input parameter data, everything would be a product of &#39;upload1&#39;. </div>
<div>2) No global IDs. If I try to sync a second time, it may be difficult to figure out which elements have been previously pushed. Comparing names could lead to problems...</div><div><br></div><div>Kyle</div><div><br></div>

<div><br></div><div>For databases, it is a little bit complex. If you have a database server, you could share access to a single database, but your installation between your server should be the same, and all working directories must be shared with NFS on all galaxy servers...</div>
