Hi Jen,
thank you very much for your answer and efforts, however, I have no idea what you mean. Sorry, but I am a molecular biologist, not a bioinformatician. Though I was able to generate a .vcf file of my mutant with bam/samtools and MiModD, this took me 2 weeks and I am only a beginner when it comes to command line usage.
I have tried to follow the links and ended up at the doc "Galaxy FTP Uploads". Here it is said that "To allow users to upload files to Galaxy via FTP, you'll need to configure Galaxy and install an FTP server. After everything is configured users will be able to upload their files through the FTP server and then select them for importing in the upload dialog in Galaxy. For help with uploading data via FTP on Galaxy Main, please see this tutorial." In this tutorial, however, the button "choose FTP file" is used to upload files into the history. But this is the button that I do not see (attached image). I can't find help with configuring Galaxy.
Similarly, the section "Configure Galaxy" does not make sense to me. "The first step is to choose a directory into which your users will upload files." I don't see/know here to choose from. "Preferably this will be on the same filesystem as Galaxy's datasets (by default, galaxy_dist/database/files/)." Where is this path? "This directory should be set in the config file (galaxy.yml) as ftp_upload_dir." Which config file in which program? The galaxy server, FileZilla etc.? "In the config file, you'll also want to set ftp_upload_site to the hostname your users should connect to via FTP." How? "This will be provided in the help text on the Upload File form." But isn't this "Configure Galaxy" doc that I am ready not already the "Upload File" forum?
Is there a documentation/help that could be used by a beginner/non-informatician? Again, sorry for my incomprehension.
Thanks, Joe.
