Hi Steve, sorry for not getting back to you. I hadn't realized there
was a question here when I originally skimmed the email.
This can be done in lib/galaxy/config.py
> My next question is based on permissions. It looks like galaxy has to own the file
(as nobody in your example) to upload and remove it from the directory. I'd like to
change it to be more forceful, which would allow galaxy to remove the file if group owned
by nobody. What module/lines do this and what impact would such a change have?
This would likely have to be done in the tools/data_source/upload.py
file.
Thanks, I'll have a look.
We are going to be working on more general methods to allow for
local
file uploads in typical lab environments like yours where Galaxy users
have access to (at least part of) the local filesystem, which would
hopefully make this less of a hack for you.
That sounds very good. Basically it would be good to have file browser type functionality.
We are planning on having
designated areas that users can put files (or even sym links) in and see their data
without uploading it. There are
obviously permission issues involved in this that need some management, so I'd be
interested in hearing the ideas planned.
