Hi John, thanks for your reply, I'll give it a try. Thomas ________________________________________ Von: John Chilton [jmchilton@gmail.com] Gesendet: Montag, 7.

There is information on how to start doing this in the following thread I think: http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/FTP-Problem-Users-cannot-see-their-uploads... This may just work for admin users though, I don't recall. It is hopefully a helpful start though. -John On Mon, Apr 7, 2014 at 9:02 AM, Berner, Thomas <thomas.berner@jki.bund.de> wrote:

Hi,

we recently activated the feature for non admin users which allows them to upload a directory of files:

...

# Add an option to the library upload form which allows authorized

# non-administrators to upload a directory of files. The configured directory

# must contain sub-directories named the same as the non-admin user's Galaxy

# login ( email ). The non-admin user is restricted to uploading files or

# sub-directories of files contained in their directory.

#user_library_import_dir = None

user_library_import_dir = /opt/galaxy/galaxy-share/

...

However we would like to restrict the permission to only link to their files without copying them into galaxy, is this possible?

Greetings, Thomas
