mr.babek: I've thought long and hard about how to support auto-deletion, and agree that it's an important feature. However, I don't believe ioFTPD should do this internally. It's just way too complicated to get right for everyone so some support will be provided from the server, but the real decision making should be done by a script that gets called when the server needs more space. This would make it completely customizable. I've even mentioned how we could use the various +x bits of the directory access modes to indicate what can be allowed to be auto-deleted and what can't be. I'm willing to work with anyone who wants to write such a script, but my version probably won't get written until the site script I toy with from time to time gets released since the directory database it keeps is what I'll use to figure out the oldest dirs able to be deleted.
