Excuses for the repost, but I really need to solve this.
Uploading with FTP fails on our Galaxy, because the /tmp directory has not enough space. How can I hack in the Galaxy code base that the temporary directory needs to be /mnt/galaxydb/tmp ? Another solution: how can I provide a symlink to our FTP directory?
Hi Joachim, It's not possible with the FTP upload method, but if you set user_library_import_dir in the config file, users can upload files from a server directory and choose the "link" option, just like an admin can. --nate
Thanks for any hint,
Joachim

Dear devs,
Question about FTP upload: is it correct that Galaxy copies the data from the FTP upload directory to galaxy database instead of symlinking? Can I set somewhere the option to symlink instead of copying?
I run galaxy in a small virtual machine. The Galaxy database is on a network share. With 'get data' - 'Upload file', when importing the files I have uploaded with FTP, there is a process filling up the /tmp directory with the file I want to import.
Kind regards, Joachim
