Alessandro, I'm not sure if I've understood your problem fully, but would creating a directory of sym-links to your data and then pointing the Galaxy Data Libraries to that directory solve your problem?

Our problem is that we manage only NGS data (SOLiD and Illumina Data) that are already stored on the server. When we connect to galaxy with our clients we are not able to browse the server file system. Having the possibility to browse the server filesystem would be the best solution for us!! We have look for this funtion but it seems it is not possible... Now, we tried to set up the user directory but adding new file and re-uploading the dir we found duplicated files (it seems that galaxy re-upload every time all the files ignoring if some are already present. This method is OK for us but how can we avoid the file duplications ? In a presentation found on web (blankenberg_pittsburg_2001), we saw that there is the possibility to automatically upload the sequenced reads on Galaxy (and let them available to all our user). Where can we find information for doing this ? All the best Alessandro -- ****************************** Alessandro Albiero Bioinformatics Lab CRIBI-Padua University Viale G.
