Hi!

Im using the ioFTPD 5.8.5-r and ioBanana ver 20 and NTFS filesystem.

Im using the sorting function (For music and movie) and the "latest" function in ioBanana script and it works great. Discovered yesterday that the symbolic links are not removed when a uploaded folder is removed (The folder contains files and SFV file).

My question is:
Does the ioBanana script "maintain" the symlinks so they are removed if the source is removed ? Or even update them if the source is moved ?:confused:

If ioBanana maintans the links, could someone be kind and give me a hint to look ?

Thanks in advance

I don't know about ioBanana, but I would guess you would need to use a symlink cleaner, probably via the scheduler to keep things up. The problem is that when the files are deleted, how is the script to know the year, genre, artist, etc (remember the files are gone, so you can't just scan one for this info)...So generally the cleanup has to be done 'externally'...
