split images directory

[amorino]

Hello,
I have a vm installation with 3500 products
My hoster contact me to tell me that  I should split/move the files within the /home/******/public_html/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product folder because this is a direct violation of our RUP.

"A directory can not contain more than 2,500 immediate child files. This includes subdirectories themselves, but does not include files contained within those directories."

Otherwise they will close my site any help please to split the directory?

VM 1.1.x and joomla 1.5.26
Best regards
Amorino

While there may be a way to do this split, I think you need a new hosting company. We have several clients who host with us who have tens of thousands of image files in their directory with no problems.
