Hi Matthias,
I have relocated this question to galaxy-dev since it deals with local implementation.
This is available now via the 'library_import_dir' and 'user_library_import_dir' options in universe_wsgi.ini.
library_import_dir: A directory containing subdirectories, from which all contents may be uploaded into a data library via the "upload a directory" version of the upload form. We often symlink files to these subdirectories to avoid double copies.
user_library_import_dir: A directory containing subdirectories named as Galaxy user email addresses which work as above, except that regular users may upload from these directories to libraries (assuming they have "add to library" permissions).

Hi Nate, hi Gordon!
Thanks for the advices again-
@gordon: You are right, it might not be the best solution in question of system security-
@nate: i changed the settings but where is that "upload a directory" version of the upload form? I checked out the latest galaxy version but it doesnt seem to be included yet?
thanks

It exists only once enabled, and for the Library version of the upload tool only. It can be accessed by clicking the triangle next to "Create new data library datasets" at the top of the library upload form and choosing "Upload directory of files".
