Symbolic links not visible in DA

[da-niel]

Hi everyone,

I've searched a lot, but only found other topics with the same unanswered question:

• Symbolic Links (created via a cronjob) pointing to either files of folders are not visible at all in DirectAdmin, yet work as expected!
• but all ftp programs and php based filemanagers do see them (and can delete/rename them),
• even DirectAdmin can rename them if you change the get-url in the addressbar from a visible file/folder..

Explaining further: if I create a folder through ftp or a cronjob, it is visible in DA
So it is not even about not having a red arrow icon, no, the symlink simply does not show up in DA file manager.

I'm clearly not the only one with this problem, so, PLEASE someone explain what half of the world is doing wrong?

Thank you so much!

Hello,

What is the name of the symlink?
From ssh, what's it's value?

ls -la [i]linkname[/i]

Might it perhaps simply be on "page 2" of the files output? (sometimes the 2nd page goes unnoticed)
