Other Agents will receive it as a broken symlink (pointing to nowhere) and give error about unsupported symbolic link.Īgent counts the files in link target, file or folder, and reports this count in Files column in job run. If source of files is an old agent that doesn't support following symlink, or the option is disabled for it, it syncs it as a symlink.
If a link is removed (unlinked), the file/folder is moved to the archive on remote Agents for Synchronization jobs. Hidden files inside the link target are not synced Link-to-folder is preserved in this case. Therefore synchronization of links does not make much sense for sync jobs. Actually, the link-to-file will break shortly after one of the remote Agents scans its folder and discovers a 'file'. This will break link-to-file (target file does not receive these updates) and link is moved to archive. If changes are made on remote agents, they are synced back to the source Agent. However, it's detected only at folder scan - system notifications don't work for the link target. Resilio agent can detect that something changed in the link target and sync it to other Agents. The job run w ill not report the error, but will record event "Path skipped" in the job's log. In either case, the fix is to remove the symbolic link which points to nowhere and restart the distribution or consolidation job, or force subfolder scan on the synchronization job.Īlternatively, enable option "Skip file errors" in the Agent profile and a broken symbolic link will be ignored and job run will continue. Remove the link, otherwise the agents with such a link, will not be able to download the 'followed' symlink and give the error about unsupported symbolic link, or "Cannot finish download":
However before enabling it, it's advisable to check the folders and see if there are already symbolic links which do not have target on the Computer (see how symlinks sync between Linux machines here). The parameter is not compatible with Resolve filename conflicts "Yes", the job will give error about unsupported symbolic links.Ĭan be enabled for an already created job.
