Upload via browser is likely to fail when file size is > 2G, but since the filesystem is local, you have a few extra options. You'll need to be logged in as an admin to use the functionality, but if you enable allow_library_path_paste (in universe_wsgi.ini), you can create datasets in a data library (you'll need to make one) by simply pasting the full (local) file paths into the usual input box.

Hello,
I installed Galaxy on a new Mac Pro with 64gb of ram and a solid state first drive and 3 , 2tb normal drives.

I can upload from my desktop a smaller file like a reference list or a cuffdiff file but when I try to load a 16gb fastq file it just does not load.

Given that I have my files on the same computer that has Galaxy, and given that I am not well versed in unix, would anyone have a suggestion as to ways I could easily upload these large files.

I would like to think I am just naive and that this has a simple solution. Hopefully this is the correct list to pose this question.

Thank you for any help,

For those in the no, I did see this appear on the terminal after I tried to upload the file through the browser mechanism for upload:

"Overflow Error: signed integer is greater than maximum"
