Delete files with () about octoprint HOT 7 CLOSED

What do you mean with "files with()"? Files containing these characters?

Also, I wouldn't recommend putting the web interface at a remotely accessible location right now -- it's too easy for someone who doesn't know what he's doing or who wants to harm you to just heat that thing up to 300°C or who knows what else.

Yes, ( or ) in filenames, eg. PrintMe(today).gcode

Its just the raspi thats online, printer is not plugged in, I usally babysit when printer is on :)

Follow-up question: Are you trying to delete files that you put manually at that folder location, or ones that you uploaded via OctoPrint?

i have a router at home with an usb memorystick thats shared with samba, router is connected(vpn) to my workplace where I have a proper workstation so slicing with Cura is done there, .the usb memorystick home is mounted as a disk on the workstation at work, so Cura can copy the gcode direct to my router, so i slice different stuff when i'm at work, and just copy the files to the sd-card from the router usb disk.
On the raspberrypi I have this usb-storage mounted to /mnt/router-usb, and put this as the upload directory in Octoprint, so i rarely upload files, they are already there.

Reason i get files with () chars is mostly if I need to slice a file over again, i tend to goto thingiverse and download again, new stl in download folder is appended with (1) because it already exists...

A, there we have your problem. OctoPrint sanitizes the filename to make sure nothing weirds gets send over the line and fscks up the installation. By directly copying into the folder, you are circumventing the sanitizing one way (storing the file), but of course the other way (accessing the file) it's still applied and such the operation fails.

Hm... I see your usecase there, but I don't want to get rid of the sanitizing step... I could build a mechanism that monitors the folder and automatically sanitizes the names of files added to it if not already done. That's about the only idea I have right now though.

i would assume its just a matter of escaping the filenames so that the rm / delete command finds the file ? just like you would need to do if you work with filenames with special chars or spaces from a .sh script ?

i remember I needed to use a rename routine when I automated download of series I watch, listed all the filenames through a pipe with sed that removed all special chars

Should no longer be an issue since the file management was completely revamped with 1.2.x
