How to disable file restriction server side?

n00b101 · July 28, 2018, 4:48pm

I know it is not safe but could someone let me know how to disable file name restrictions for syncing?

I know how to do it client side but not sure what to do server side.

I really need to sync my .htaccess files

thanks a million in advance

My config:
NC13
Apache 2.4.x
PHP 7

There is one reference in the code for that (perhaps other as well):

github.com

nextcloud/server/blob/b4f36d44c43aac0efdc6c70ff8e46473341a9bfe/apps/files/lib/Capabilities.php#L58




	/**
	 * Return this classes capabilities
	 *
	 * @return array
	 */
	public function getCapabilities() {
		return [
			'files' => [
				'bigfilechunking' => true,
				'blacklisted_files' => $this->config->getSystemValue('blacklisted_files', ['.htaccess']),
			],
		];
	}
}

Make sure that you don’t let apache override its configuration within your data subfolders (the data folder itself is protected by a .htaccess, you could put this protection in your apache config directly and turning AllowOverride to None.

sudo grep -r ‘blacklisted_files’ /var/www/nextcloud

/var/www/nextcloud/apps/files/lib/Capabilities.php: ‘blacklisted_files’ => $this->config->getSystemValue(‘blacklisted_files’, [’.htaccess’]),

/var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/Files/Filesystem.php: $blacklist = \OC::$server->getConfig()->getSystemValue(‘blacklisted_files’, array(’.htaccess’));

/var/www/nextcloud/config/config.sample.php:‘blacklisted_files’ => array(’.htaccess’),

I replaced all occurences in those files from ‘.htaccess’ to ‘.htaccessBAK’. lets see, now I need to enable the client

looks like it is working; still not working on symbolic links; anyone has any idea for those ?
