change download and temp folders for sabnzbd on Amahi

Postby technologiq » Sat Oct 23, 2010 5:58 pm

I have a second hard drive on my Amahi box and I need to have the downloads go into that folder and even though I've tried to use the full path its still not happy.

Hmmm....what you could do is leave the path alone and do a symlink from the original location to your new one. That way it will think nothing has changed, but the files will reside elsewhere.

To do it, go to the current path and do ls -s new/path. That should keep it happy and achieve what you want for storage location.

What would you use as the path? \\hda/Movies for example? or the local path?

Minor correction to the above command:
ls -s new/path
should be:
ln -s new/path
