Dear all,

Is there a way with the Galaxy sample tracking system to have the dataset transfer feature copy data to a dataset library outside the private Galaxy server data directory tree and then the dataset library just link (like you can do with upload files feature when managing data libraries)? The reason for this is that it is common to have such huge data also available outside of Galaxy on the filesystem for bioinformatians/computational biologists to access directly without having to have two copies.

Hi Leandro,

It's not possible currently, but if you use the deferred job runner and transfer manager method to transfer files from the sequencer, you can make a copy of the deferred job plugin that will use the "link to files" method as opposed to "copy" method.
