Hi all,
According to Galaxy, uploading files larger than 2GB will surely fail. For this reason, uploading via FTP is recommended. Unfortunately, I cannot download/install an FTP server for Galaxy since I am working on a remote server. I only have access to it via Xming. Is there anyway to allow FTP upload, without using ProFTPd? Can I use Mozilla's fireFTP or Linux's own FTP? (Actually, I tried to connect to Galaxy, but I was denied access.).
Thank you in advance for any help.
Hi Ciara, ProFTPd is not required. If your Galaxy users already have a way to access the server directly, that access method is fine. You simply need to create a top-level directory under which you create directories for each user. Then, set the top level directory as the value of 'ftp_upload_dir' in the config file, and set 'ftp_upload_site' to something other than the default 'None'. e.g.: /scratch/galaxy/upload /scratch/galaxy/upload/user1@example.org /scratch/galaxy/upload/user2@example.org ftp_upload_dir = /scratch/galaxy/upload ftp_upload_site = server.example.org --nate
