Wierd, both @Heap-Hop and @fufesou can not reproduce this.

Ah! The goal is on a network NAS device. Links to the local fs work.

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/3402 i guess similar.

Today, i can confirm a fresh created symlink (to a NAS-drive) is working. Same env like during the initial bug report. This is for Linux, will check the same for Windows. And will try also for the here linked issues.

Linux

ln -s /nas-drive/dir link-to-nas-drive-dir

• Windows > Linux - Pass
• Linux > Linux - Pass

Windows

mklink /d link-to-netdrive-dir z:\test-files 
mklink /d link-to-local-dir c:\test-files
mklink /j junction-to-local-dir c:\test-files

• Linux > windows - Pass
• Windows > Windows - Pass

Only this strange *.lnk thing doesn`t work, but … who cares :-)

I can't reproduce this bug for linux anymore and can confirm links are followed when connecting to windows. @rustdesk I think this issue can be closed. Waiting a while for a response from the other two issues?

@grummbeer Thanks
