how to add multiple folders to share?
« on: March 08, 2012, 10:16:55 PM »
Hi,

I am using amule-daemon 2.3.1 in linux server with amulegui from my osx machine.

I would like to share 4 different folders but I can´t find how to do it. When I go to preferences >> shared folders in the amulegui I see nothing and couldn´t find any documentation about how I could add multiple folders to share to my aMule.conf file in the machine where I run amule-daemon.

could anyone point me to any documentation about how to share multiple folders or is not possible?

I have thougt about doing simbolic links to my folders in the Incoming dir. should I do it this way? if I use simbolic links the folders will be shared recursively?

many thanks in advance

With amuled just enter the dirs you want to share in file shareddir.dat in aMule's config folder.

many thanks.

Looking at the docs it seems that the folders added in this file aren´t shared recursively. Would be great if emule could do it recursively   :-\

aMule monolith can actually, creating the recursive list itself. Just amuled / amulegui can't, mainly because it would require a remote file system browser to do so which we don't have.

just used this workaround to add all the folders I want to share.

 in case is useful for anyone:

$> find /media/USB2TB/Peliculas/ -iname "*" -type d  >> $HOME/.aMule/shareddir.dat
