[galaxy-user] FTP in local galaxy Instance

Hi,

We have set up a local galaxy instance and the settings in the universe file to be able to upload FTPed files.

The settings in the universe_wsgi.ini seem correct and are :

# This should point to a directory containing subdirectories matching users' # email addresses, where Galaxy will look for files. ftp_upload_dir = /var/www/galaxy-dist/ftp

I have also set ftp_upload_site.

But when the users sign into galaxy they cannot view their file in the get data -> from files on my computer.

When I use the Galaxy server at main.g2.bx.psu.edu I see the ftp files option no problems.

Can you suggest something else I should be doing to have this feature to work?

Thanks,

Paula Kuser-Falcao
