Team,

Following up on my earlier post from last week, here: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/guidance-on-building-my-new-nextcloud-server-for-hosting-services/523

I would like to run the following by you to make sure that it currently is or will be officially supported in Nextcloud:

One VERY IMPORTANT feature for me that I have been using in the past with ownCloud, is the ability to upload/transfer files and folders via FTP/FTPS/SFTP DIRECTLY into the ownCloud Data Store.

Once I would finish uploading my files/folders DIRECTLY into the ownCloud Data Store, I would then schedule the following cron tasks to update the file table on the WebUI:

occ files:scan --all

occ files:cleanup

The reason for this is HUGE.

I have users that need the ability to upload VMs that can be anywhere from 25GB, 50GB, 75GB+ and need the ability to upload these large files without the restrictions and time-outs from Apache and PHP.

So they can UPLOAD these large files directly...then once they show up on the WebUI, they can share them out as normal.

Is it possible to still do this with NextCloud in the current version? How about future versions?

I know that this was officially NOT SUPPORTED by ownCloud, but it's a very important feature that many of us old users still use heavily.

Please advise.

Thanks,

BJ.

This still works the same in Nextcloud.
However, do note that stuff like this might break if a user uploads a file with the same name etc.

Well the problem about scan is, that it has no way to detect moves and renames etc. So it drops shares and any other information that is related to the file.

But if that is okay, you can still use those commands, as per above.

Hello nickvergessen
may I ask you

Well the problem about scan is, that it has no way to detect moves and renames etc

Is this warning only for the time of the scan ? After the scan is completed, would the moves and renames be detected like other files ?
Thanks for the precision.

No, for every item that is moved/renamed via external access at any time.
