Hi, What I did was to create a directory with sub-directories for each user or data set. Then you can change the universe_wsgi_ini in line 375 and put your directory path there library_import_dir=your path Then as admin you can upload the files from the directory, actually you create a link to them and also change the accession permission to those files. Best, Luciano

Hi Norbert,

please have a look at the FTP-Upload feature from galaxy. The idea is that every user gets an FTP folder in which he can upload data. If you create such a directory you can probably link your data in such directories and galaxy will offer them to the users in the upload tool.

Hope that helps. Cheers, Bjoern

Hello,

hopefully this is a simple question: How can I include a folder into the Galaxy server?

The backgroud is, that I installed Galaxy on one of out server, which has access to the data folders used everywhere at our institute. So, instead of uploading and copying serveral big files (and waisting space on servers) I want to make a link to the appropiate folder, so it can be used like as the data has been uploaded. I hope I explained enough details... The question is: is it possible?

Thanks for help, Norbert
