MD5 files won't show on folders

[alfablac]

Tried to find a thread that talks about files that are present on the server, but won't show on hfs.
I have a folder with a bunch of md5 files that won't show when they are accessed via hfs.
Folder is set as virtual, if I change the extension to txt it shows. Looks like there's some setting of filemask that won't allow me to access *.md5 files.

How can I change that?!

Thanks in advance.

i recall leo having the same issue. had something to do with HFS already having md5 files...

http://www.rejetto.com/wiki/index.php?title=HFS:_scripting_commands
md5 file | A
computes and expands to the MD5 hash for file A.

Yes, bmartino1 is right, the MD5 extension is forbidden by default (to avoid conflicts with an internal HFS function). This was the solution given by rejetto:

it's configurable.
By default these files are NOT allowed:
hfs.*;*.htm*;descript.ion;*.comment;*.md5;*.corrupted

You can right click on the upload folder, go to "upload mask" and enter a custom mask, like
\hfs.*;*.htm*;descript.ion;*.comment;*.corrupted

you see i removed the md5 part.
Please, mind the initial slash, it means: DON'T allow these

Cheers,
Leo.-

Sorry for the late response, but it did allow me to upload a md5 file to the server, but I don't see the previously md5 files and the uploaded one in the folder when I browse through HFS, even though they are there in the server.

but I don't see the previously md5 files and the uploaded one in the folder when I browse through HFS, even though they are there in the server.

Did you applied the 'custom mask'? Because I think this is the normal behavior (not listing MD5 files when browsing through HFS). Try applying that 'custom mask' and see if it shows those files on HFS.

I must be editing in the wrong place. I set the options here, but nothing happens. What do you mean by "custom mask"? I think I'm not finding this option.

only the upload mask needs the line.
*upload permissions need to be set first (account/anyone/anonymous...)etc...

your mask is now saying to not allow the files...

with this upload mask, a md5 file is now upload able...

also for other md5 file stuff, it better to edit the default template as stated here:

@Mars: Thank you. Thanks to your "replace" macro trick, I've removed the "full path" and used %item-resource% instead of %item-name%. Now works beautifully with any file I throw in (even works with another unicode symbols I've tested). This is the final result (with some cosmetic changes marked in green):
-----------

Code: [Select]

[upload-success]
{.inc|ok.}
{.comment|Reset md5 var.}
{.set|md5.}
<li> <a href="%item-url%">%item-name%</a>
<br /><b>Size & Speed:</b> %item-size% @ %smart-speed%B/s
{.if|{.>|%item-size%|0.}|{:
   {.comment|Calculate md5.}
   {.set|md5|{.md5 file|%item-resource%.}.}
   {.comment|Create a new md5 file.}
   {.save|%item-resource%.md5|{.^md5.} {.replace |%folder-resource%\|*|%item-resource%.} /save.}
   {.comment|View md5 on Upload Result.}
   <br /><b>MD5 Checksum:</b> {.^md5.}
:}.}
{.if| {.length|%user%.} |{: {.comment|.append|%folder-resource%\hfs.comments.txt |{.filename|%item-resource%.}=uploaded by %user%
/append.}
{.set item|%item-url%|comment=uploaded by %user%.}
:}/if.}----------

Added these lines, but I still can't see the md5 in the folder, even though they are on the server.
Pretty strange. Thanks anyway for everyone.

by default files that have "system" or "hidden" flag are not displayed.
I'm talking about the attributes you see in the file properties from the file manager (WIN+E)
