We currently do not have any such plans. Because the aspera protocol is proprietary, and the implementations both closed and expensive, this would be difficult both philosophically and practically. If someone with an Aspera license were to contribute open-source code for doing this, we'd likely be willing to integrate it though. Is there a command line aspera client? -- jt James Taylor, Assistant Professor, Biology / Computer Science, Emory University On Nov 9, 2010, at 3:20 PM, lentaing@jimmy.harvard.edu wrote:

Hi,

Are there any plans to integrate galaxy with aspera? In other words, are there any plans to allow users to configure their own galaxy instance to use an aspera server for downloading and uploading files?

Thanks, Len
