Hi Keith,

your message is not bouncing, it shows here: 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`

I have been creating directories for the users, but putting files in (for example) /home/galaxy/database/ftp/user@example.com does not make them available for the user@example.com user in Galaxy.

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.  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.

Subject: [External] [galaxy-dev] Copying files to FTP upload directory


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 I would expect to be able to place files in /home/galaxy/database/ftp/user@example.org and they will be available in the Upload dialog for the user@example.org user.  However, this is not working; am I missing something?

Thanks,
Keith
