Hi Branden, Data in a library needs to be uncompressed in order for Galaxy to index and have access to it correctly. I updated our wiki for the "upload by filesystem link" option: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Uploading%20Library%20Files Good question!

Hi All, Is it possible to link to compressed files in a Galaxy data library? We receive all of our NGS data in bz2 or gzip format for obvious reasons, just wondering if I have to decompress it on the filesystem before I link to it or not. Thanks!
