I was referred to this site by a peer and she mentioned there is a Galaxy expert here that might be able to help with an issue I am having. I have setup a new server with the latest local version of Galaxy on it using Postgres. All of Galaxy runs fine without any issues. I then setup ProFTP according to the instructions that the Galaxy Wiki page provided, but I am not able to FTP to the server using the Galaxy credentials. After a few days of trying different things, I decided to downgrade Galaxy to the Oct, 2014 release. Still having the same issues. Below are the versions of the software I am using currently.

Galaxy - Oct 2014 release (have tried the latest version as well)

ProFTPD - 1.3.6rc1

Python - 2.6.6

PostgreSQL - 8.4.20

If there is someone that has experience with the setup of the FTP integration, let me know and I can post the configurations and error logs.

Thanks,

Joe Koral

Hi Joe,

can you set use_pbkdf2=False in your config/galaxy.ini file? Afaik proftp does not support this type of encryption in your version. You need to reset all passwords after you have restarted Galaxy with the new configuration.

Hope this helps,

Bjoern

Thanks for your reply. I have tried that as well. But I thought the version of ProFTPD that I have supports the PBKDF2? I thought it was prior to version 1.3.5.

Without seeing all you log and config files this is difficult so solve. But you can also look at your Docker Image:

https://github.com/bgruening/docker-galaxy-stable

Here we also setup one FTP server. So you can simply copy & paste from the config file.

This is a nice clean file. I wish I had this at the beginning. Thanks very much.

I know that this blogpost from a Galaxy deployer helped few people to set up proftpd: http://galacticengineer.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/ftp-upload-to-galaxy-using-proftpd-and.html

Also our wiki is not the best organized wiki yet and there are more mentions of proftpd, have you seen this page? https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/UploadviaFTP

Yes, I have used the wiki page to set it up initially. I also used the blog to make tweaks.

We were able to figure the issue out. The line we were missing was:

SQLPasswordEngine on

The wiki page does not show that line.

Thanks to all that replied.
