Enable upload via FTP

View material

Abstract

This tutorial will guide you to setup an File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server so galaxy users can use it to upload large files. Indeed, as written on the galaxy community hub, uploading data directly from the browser can be unreliable and cumbersome. FTP will allow users to monitor the upload status as well as resume interrupted transfers.
