Issue when remote path is a symlink

Open the-moog opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

If the remote end path ends in a symlink, e.g. user@server:/path/symlink

Then sshfs fails to mount, with error 'Not a directory' even if -o follow_symlinks is supplied.

However passing user@server:/path/symlink/

(Note the trailing slash) - works fine :)

If I do ssh user@server ls /path/symlink then I get a directory listing. So the issue is with CLI processing in sshfs, not they way ssh or the remote os is parsing paths.
