Create a share and rename it

ℹ️ Support

Hello all,

I’m using the OCS Share API to share folders with a specific user.

The problem is the folder is always the same “tech_spec” and is located inside each client folder we have. So the user “sees” “tech_spec” shares but doesn’t know for which client.

I see that the user can rename safely a share and it doesn’t modify the original name of the folder.

My question is it possible to create a share AND change the share name for that user ?

Thank you!

You could try using the Share Renamer app, at least for future links.

Otherwise, you can use an external service such as YOURLS, Kutt or Polr to have this functionality.

It’s share for a user not through a public link.

My question concerns the folders list the registered user sees when he checks its shares.

Obviously I can use WebDAV to rename a share.

I’ve successfully done it:

curl -k -u 'user1':'pass' -X MOVE --header 'Destination:https://localhost/remote.php/dav/files/user1/Shares/share_rename' 'https://localhost/remote.php/dav/files/user1/Shares/share'

However I’m enable to do it from my admin account:

curl -k -u 'admin':'pass' -X MOVE --header 'Destination:https://localhost/remote.php/dav/files/user1/Shares/share_rename' 'https://localhost/remote.php/dav/files/user1/Shares/share'

I suppose there is no way around it ?
