[ZendTo] Incoming Folder Piling up

[John Thurston]

'incoming' is where files are accumulated as users 'drop' them off.

When the entire file has been uploaded, it is assembled and passed over 
to be virus scanned, etc. At that time is moved from 'incoming' to 
'dropoffs'


If you are seeing files piling up in 'incoming', it indicates that 
uploads are being terminated before they are completed. The files in 
'incoming' are NOT affected by your deletion of competed drop offs! As 
mentioned elsewhere, a cron job will delete files in 'incoming' which 
are older than 24 hours.


IMHO, you can safely clobber anything in 'incoming' which is older than 
a couple of hours. If a customer hasn't been able to upload the next 
segment of their file in that amount of time, their browser (or your 
firewall) is going to kill their session anyway. But that's just my 
opinion.  Set your own threshold, and do a manual cleanup whenever you like:

   find -H /var/zendto/incoming/ -type f -mmin +360 -delete

Do things because you should, not just because you can.
