What does Owncloud's file synchronisation do with symbolic links?
For example I want to synchronise a couple of directories between
computers that are already there and arranged the way I want them.
So I set up file synchronisation between two (newly created)
directories as follows:-
Computer 1 /home/chris/owncloud
Computer 2 /home/cgreen/owncloud
These are both owncloud clients connecting to the same server.
Obviusly files and subdirectories actually in /home/chris/owncloud
will get synchronised, but what about symbolic links I place there?
What I *actually* want to synchronise are existing directory
hierarchies such as:-
~/books
~/pictures
~/music
If I put symbolic links to these in /home/chris/owncloud will it work
or will it just copy the symbolic link rather than what it points at?
I suspect it's not going to work as I want.
Given that I want to synchronise a number of existing directory
hierarchies is there any sensible way to do it with Owncloud's file
synchronisation? I don't want to move the directories, they're in the
'right' place already.
