Hi Jerzy, To load data in batch on a local install, use the Data library function. The admin can do this and you can also grant permissions to specific users. Please see these wiki pages for details: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Libraries http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Uploading%20Library%20Files The first is an overview, the second has details for various loading options, including through a file system. The idea is to load into a Data Library, then import into histories through the UI. There is no data duplication, it is done through references. Hopefully this helps, Jen Galaxy team On 10/12/12 5:04 AM, Jerzy Dyczkowski wrote:

Hello,

How to put data to the local Galaxy server via ftp, ssh or copying directly to some subfolder in galaxy-dist?

We installed a local Galaxy instance and it is running. Manual uploading files from user PCs is slow due to less than perfect connections in the local network. We would prefer uploading large files by ssh from the central cluster to the server on which Galaxy is running. I can conect to the Galaxy server and Galaxy folder structure, however, I cannot find where to put files. Are they all renamed and coded as something like: galaxy-dist/database/files/000/dataset_38.dat ?

The option of uploading via ftp on main.g2.bx.psu.edu is absent in local Galaxy distribution.

best regards,
