Bug：Symbolic link is made to a file

if the symbolic link is made to a file, you can not read the file. NppFTP always shows symlinks as directories.

Any chance for some progress on this issue? Is it most confusing and highly annoying.

Steps to reproduce:

 $ mkdir nppftp
[/tmp]
 $ cd nppftp
[/tmp/nppftp]
 $  mkdir foo
[/tmp/nppftp]
 $  touch foo/bar
[/tmp/nppftp]
 $  ln -s foo/bar
[/tmp/nppftp]
 $ ls -lgo foo bar
lrwxrwxrwx 1  7 Jan 13 01:57 bar -> foo/bar

foo:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 Jan 13 01:57 bar

Also reported as NppFTP: Displaying symlink to the file.

Is reported properly via WINSCP:
