append username to folder when creating a virtual folder mapping

[nader-eloshaiker]

When adding a virtual folder to a user, you specify the virtual folder path and then the folder name to map to.
It would be great if a user name can be appended to the folder path in the creation of the virtual path mapping.

Currently this is what I do:
Docker volume mappings:
/srv/sftpgo/data --> /user (usernames in this folder)
/srv/sftpgo/virtual/photos --> /share/photos (usernames in this folder)

folders: (implemented for each user)

• name: photos-username1 - path: /srv/sftpgo/virtual/photos/username1

users:

• user home path is /srv/sftpgo/data/username1
  virtual path:
• vpath: /photos - folder name: photos-username1

The issue here is that I have to create the photos folders for each user and then map each one in the virtual folder.

What I would like to do is:

folders: (one folder)

• name: photos - path: /srv/sftpgo/virtual/photos

users:

• user home path is /srv/sftpgo/data/username1
  virtual path:
• vpath: /photos - folder name: photos/${username}

Hi,

this feature is already supported, just read the doc here. It looks like you have missed this too

I did see that but it doesn’t work per the use case I provided as I currently understand it.

I require %username% on the folder path and not on the folder vpath, for the photos folder definition/mapping.

Apologies, I made an assumption around what was allowed and not allowed on the folders page of the website given that the %username% banner was only presented on the groups page.
