You could write a script that polls the desired directory and uses Galaxy's API to upload new files. See <galaxy install dir>/scripts/api/README for some information. The distribution includes a script in this same directory to upload library datasets ( library_upload_from_import_dir.py ). > > I am also having a problem with creating sub folders - I choose to create sub > folder from the drop down list and it reports that the sub folder has been > created but I cant see it, and I cant click on the blue triangles to the left > of the folders either. Does anyone else have this problem? Assuming you are adding sub-folders from the Shared Data -> Data Libraries view ( and not the Admin - Manage data libraries view ), this may be a result of permissions that have been placed on the library or parent folder in which you are adding sub-folders. The behavior you see could be a bug, but if so, I'll need some help tracking it down. Can you confirm from what view you are adding hte sub-folders, and what the permissions are on the parent folder and library? Thanks!
