symbolic link is not displayed..why?

#1 Post by machiko gondo » 2023-02-20 08:41

Im working on laravel project, and having problem with symbolic link.
My project has a symbolic link between storage and public folder.
but symbolic link file is not displayed on filezilla.
I already looked at hidden folder, but there is no hidden file.
can someone give me any hint ?

thank you.
best regards.

It could be a limitation from the server an not client, for security reasons.

thank you for your reply.

is there any way to change the limitation to display symbolic link?

I tried to delete a whole project and re-upload, but
there is always public folder left because of hidden symbolic link.
and error said "folder is not empty"...
I would like to know how to display symbolic link and delete .

best regards. thank you.

If you are using FTP or FTP over TLS and if you know the name of the hidden item, try issuing a custom command: DELE /absolute/path/to/symbolic/link/name

The server administrator would need to change the server configuration to not hide files.

I had the same problem as you with a Laravel project. I managed to solve it by connecting to the server using SFTP instead of FTP.
