Symbolic/hard Link, virtual folders like sftpgo, list directory above if view files by browser support

[lynks529]

Specific Demand

Symbolic/Hard Link Support

I found that dufs can't list symbolic link entries.

Dynamic virtual folders like sftpgo

When running dufs, you may need add some virtual folders to transfers files.

Instead of running another instance and using another port.

list directory above if view files by browser

We prefer folders above and files below.

Implement Suggestion

[sigoden]

I don't understand what you're saying. can you give an example ?

dufs supports symlink.

[lynks529]

use std::fs;
use std::io;
use std::path::Path;

fn visit_dirs(dir: &Path) -> io::Result<()> {
    if dir.is_dir() {
        for entry in fs::read_dir(dir)? {
            let entry = entry?;
            let path = entry.path();
            if path.is_dir() && path.is_symlink() {
                print!("dir symlink: ");
            } else {
                print!("not dir symlink: ");
            }
            print!("{:?}", path);
            println!();
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}

fn main() {
    let path = Path::new("C:/Volumes");
    visit_dirs(path);
}

Run cargo run result:

dir symlink: "C:/Volumes\\deno-x86_64-1.34.3-pc-windows-msvc.zip"
dir symlink: "C:/Volumes\\flutter_windows_3.10.5-stable.zip"
not dir symlink: "C:/Volumes\\New folder"
dir symlink: "C:/Volumes\\New folder - Junction"
dir symlink: "C:/Volumes\\New folder - SymbolicLink"
not dir symlink: "C:/Volumes\\New Text Document - SymbolicLink.txt"
not dir symlink: "C:/Volumes\\New Text Document.txt"

C:/Volumes\\deno-x86_64-1.34.3-pc-windows-msvc.zip and C:/Volumes\\flutter_windows_3.10.5-stable.zip are virtual folders create by Pismo File Mount Audit Package build 192-win.exe, which used to mount archive files.

Run dufs C:\Volumes, and open http://127.0.0.1:5000/, page no show that two virtual folders, just:

New Text Document - SymbolicLink.txt            2023-07-01 14:12    	0 B

Sort by names folders not above

Run dufs C:\Volumes, and open http://127.0.0.1:5000/?order=desc&sort=name, page shows:

[Name](http://127.0.0.1:5000/?order=asc&sort=name)
New Text Document.txt
New Text Document - SymbolicLink.txt
New folder - SymbolicLink
New folder - Junction
New folder

[sigoden]

You need to run with "--allow-symlink" or "--allow-all"

[sigoden]

sort by name, in desc order, what's the problem?

[lynks529]

You need to run with "--allow-symlink" or "--allow-all"

Thanks, that's OK.

[lynks529]

sort by name, in asc order, what's the problem?

Could this sort features can display entries like Windows Explorer, folders has high priority.

[sigoden]

Not sure, I need to do some research.

Dynamic virtual folders like sftpgo

Dynamicly map real directories to webdav root subdirs.

eg.: Map C:\_File_Cache of C partition to webdav path /_File_Cache.

[sigoden]

Isn't it just dufs C:\ ？

[lynks529]

Isn't it just dufs C:\ ？

Many partitions, not only C:.

[sigoden]

Then you create symlinks such as D: => C:\D E: => C:\E,

You should study yourself, try and chek.

Thanks, maybe I'll tweak it.
