Hi,
I noticed the recent update to Galaxy that allowed users to put data on the galaxy FTP server and then import it into their history.
Would it be possible to use a similar mechanism to import data from the galaxy host file system but not use an FTP daemon? In our case we we would like to mount a volume to the galaxy file server and allow people to cp or mv data into it and then be able to import the data into their history. For example, In the context of the example at http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/UploadViaFTP could you set up a directory called '/home/nate/galaxy_dist/database/localfs/' instead of '/home/nate/galaxy_dist/database/ftp/' which contained email named directories and the files in these in these would be available to import via the upload UI? Or is it all tied into FTP?
Thanks for any advice,
Steve
