Follow Symlinks on Remote Directory

Open apeltz opened this issue 6 years ago • 30 comments

Expected/Desired Behavior

Is there a way for symlinks on the remote to be followed?

Actual Behavior

Symlinks on the remote file system are ignored

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Create a symlinked directory in the remote directory to somewhere outside of the "remotePath" directory
  2. SFTP: Download
  3. Observe the local directory does not follow the symlink (does not show the directory or contents)

Specifications

  • Version: 1.0.5
  • Platform: Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.6

SFTP: List can't list the symbol link on the remote server.

Often, the data and GitHub dir is on the other place as a soft link in home dir.

It would be better to list soft link on SFTP: List.

+1. It looks like symlinked folders are being treated as files.

Can we get a maintainer here to check out? This is a crucial feature for many people, and at least needs addressing, since this thread has been open for over 2 years.
