Scp upload

Use scp (secure copy) to transfer datafiles to the FTP directory within Galaxy on knot. Once the files are transferred, you will see them listed under the 'Files uploaded via FTP:' when you select Get Data:Upload File tool.

1. From the macroevolution directory which contains your file(s), use scp. For instance, to transfer the file 'datafile.fasta' to the Galaxy user 'yourname@lifesci.ucsb.edu':

  -bash-3.2$ scp datafile.fasta galaxy@knot.cnsi.ucsb.edu:/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/database/ftp/yourname\@lifesci.ucsb.edu/

(Note that the @ character requires the preceeding escape character \ in the latter instance because this email address must be understood as the directory rather than an address.)

2. Using Galaxy from your browser, select the tool 'Upload File from your computer' under Get Data. You will see your scp'd files listed. Select the files you would like to upload and 'Execute'.
