Hi, I need some guidance on how to upload data files onto an instance of Galaxy on the Cloud.  I have successfully established the instance, but am unable to ftp data sets into it.    I have tried using my logon password for the instance to be able to gain access, without success.  

Is there a direct way to move data files from the public galaxy over to the instance without downloading the files onto my computer.

Thanks for any help--- Diana

Hi Diana, 
What type if instance did you use? You should use at least Large instace type. And did you make sure to format the user data as described in the wiki (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/CloudMan, under Step 2)?

An alternative approach (which, granted, has not been publicized much yet) is to use http://bioCloudCentral.org and start your instance via that portal. I just tested it and and instance with Galaxy configured and running was up in about 5 minutes. When filling out the form, you may want to choose the Galaxy AMI (vs. the default CloudBioLinux one - which will also work) by clicking on the Advanced Options and choosing Galaxy Cloud AMI from the drop down menu).

Let us know if you still have trouble,
Enis

Hi, I am finding that the run time on the public galaxy is exceptionally long, with job submitted yesterday still waiting to start. 

Given that I need to have analyses performed more quickly, I have tried to use Galaxy on the Cloud.  Is this the following still the current version of cloudman to use?

Current AMI:

  • AMI: ami-da58aab3
  • Name: 861460482541/galaxy-cloudman-2011-03-22
I have set up instances for this version and have waited for over an hour for them to load, with multiple attempts to get the websites to open.  All status indicators say that the instance is running.  

Any insight welcomed--- thanks--- Diana
