[galaxy-user] Do I need to specify the file format when I upload datasets using FTP method?

Hi Everyone,

When I upload my datasets onto my history via FTP method (using FileZilla), do I need to specify the file format under "File Format" of "Upload File from your computer"?

I noticed that the screencast of how to upload datasets via FTP just leaves the "File Format" as "Auto-detect". However, I also noticed this sentence in the help for Auto-detect: "the system will attempt to detect Axt, Fasta, Fastqsolexa, Gff, Gff3, Html, Lav, Maf, Tabular, Wiggle, Bed and Interval (Bed with headers) formats". Do I need to specify the format of my datasets if the format of my datasets is not listed in the sentence above?

Thanks.
