Hello, I tried to search in the forums and although this question has appeared many times I still don't have a solution.

I cannot manage to upload big files into the local galaxy, it just takes ages. Can I not just copy and paste into a local directory? why do I have to upload the files if it is already installed locally?
I do not have a server webpage in order to use the url address option
If I do it through ftp (locally) what ftp address shall I put?  ftp localhost:8080??

Is there any other option to speed up uploading, is so slow that is no longer worth using it, please help me!
