Hide Network Trash and Temp Items folder

[nogi]

Hi,

I am relatively new to FreeNAS (been using for about a month now) and have one little issue. I have create a RAIDZ volume where I store my media which gets played back via XMBC. The problem I have is that I'm now getting the Network Trash folder and Temporary Items folder showing up in XMBC. Is there a way I can hide these folders or have them removed altogether?

Files can be purged straight away on this box as it's a replica of another.

regards,
Nogi

if your using samba, look into the 'veto files' setting.

Actually, I found that by hiding them in via CLI using the dot option in the front of the name is working perfectly. The only problem is that it would be extremely time consuming to change for all folders. Is there a way I could script this?

If you're in the parent folder this will find all files name "Original-File" and rename them to .New-Name. You need the quotes around the Original-File name.

find . -type d -name "Original-File" -exec mv {} .New-Name \;


Also, did you check all of your settings in CIFS on FreeNAS? I think there's a Trash/Recycle setting, not sure if it fixes what you are trying to prevent.

EDIT: had to change -type to 'd'
