Aliases (symbolic links) in Cyberduck?

Post by Maccer »

Hi!

I wonder if it is possible to create aliasas (symbolic links) to folders on the FTP server using Cyberduck.
If not, could anyone hint about some other FTP app that can do this? I have a multilingual page that is must use a bad file structure and I would like to avoid the need to have a physical copy of the same "image" folder in multiple places:
webroot/images/
webroot/sv/images/ (should be a symbolic link to webroot/images)
webroot/fi/images/ (should be a symbolic link to webroot/images)

You better use rewrite rules. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html if your hosting provider uses Apache. It is not possible to create symbolic links over FTP.
