Using obsutil to Upload a Symbolic Link
obsutil supports the upload of the real path to which the symbolic link points when a file or folder is uploaded. You can specify the command-level parameter link to implement this function when running commands for upload or incremental synchronization upload.
- obsutil can identify symbolic links pointing to folders. If a symbolic link points to a folder, obsutil recursively scans the contents in the folder.
- Avoid the symbolic link loop of a folder, otherwise, the upload will exit due to panic. If you do not want the system to panic, set panicForSymbolicLinkCircle to false in the configuration file.
- The symbolic link and the shortcut on the Windows OS are two different types. obsutil cannot identify the shortcut on the Windows OS.
