Perhaps someone else will find this of interest. As it turned out, we
didn't need FTP for a local server. Instead, one can set an option in
universe_wsgi.ini (or universe_wsgi.webapp.ini if you are running
multiple web server processes) to allow regular users to upload a set of
files from a file system into a data library. Thus we have set up a
drop box on a shared drive, with a subfolder for each user, where they
can put their files, and gave each user their own data library in Galaxy
where those files can be uploaded. The drop box folder is mounted on
the Galaxy server.
The option in universe_wsgi.webapp.ini is:
user_library_import_dir = /mnt/dropbox
It seems to work...

Subject: [galaxy-user] enabling regular users to upload large data volumes to a
local Galaxy server
Hi,
we are running a local Galaxy server, administered by a bioinformatics core
group. Our end users increasingly come to us with sets of large NGS files that
they can't upload to Galaxy on their own through a web browser. We copy their
data to a Galaxy filesystem and upload into data libraries from there using the
admin interface. However, the users would prefer to be able get their data
onto the server on their own.
What's the best solution to that? Should we set up FTP upload? Are there
other tricks? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Yury
