I added a test directory for the a user 'auser' ftp_upload_dir = /data/galaxy/ ftp_upload_site = localhost to the universe.ini We are using LDAP, so I set up a test directory called /data/galaxy/auser(a)molbiol.ox.ac.uk but having added a file in can't see anything in the FTP upload section or the 'Files uploaded via FTP' section even when 'auser' is logged in. Is there something else I need to do?
