Connecting to Galaxy ftp Server

usegalaxy.org support
1

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to the Galaxy ftp server via command line. I followed the tutorial; however, it is not working.

When I try:
$ lftp -u user@email.edu ftps://usegalaxy.org
I get the error, “lftp: usegalaxy.org: Name or service not known”

I can successfully run:
$ lftp -u user@email.edu htpps://usegalaxy.org
but when I try to transfer files I get the following error, "
put: Fatal error: gnutls_record_send: Error in the push function."

Not sure what is going on, so I am reaching out to determine how best to connect to the Galaxy ftp so i can upload my files to my Galaxy account.

Thanks!!

Welcome, @Jason_White

Please try again. I just tested both methods and they work correctly with a few simple commands:

$ put my_file
< chat from the server about the transfer >
$ ls
< my_file is listed >

Usage from FAQ https://galaxyproject.org/ftp-upload/

For explicit FTPS:

$ lftp -u user@email.edu usegalaxy.org

For implicit FTPS:

$ lftp -u user@email.edu ftps://usegalaxy.org

If you cannot get line-command ftp to work, using a client like Filezilla is another choice. How-to is on the same FAQ.

Thanks!

Thanks, it is working now. It was a quirk with our cluster.
