winfsp
can't visit the directory which created by ln -s command
The ln -s command creates symbolic links and not directories. I am assuming that you created a symlink to a directory on a UNIX system (not Cygwin) using ln -s.
If the symlink points to a target outside the SSHFS file system, unfortunately this cannot be made to work.
Can comfirm this bug.
Example:
ln -s /home/username/path/to/notes/folder/that/i/need/for/work/and/that/are/really/important /home/username/important then on the Windows side, new fileshare to \sshfs\user@ip\important
That doesn't work.
Agreed, I use pretty heavy symlinking and get this error trying to go to the links.
There were a number of symlink issues that were resolved in WinFsp 2022 Beta4. Please make sure to try with that version.
If you are running SSHFS-Win from the command line please make sure to always use the -orellinks option as well.
The bug is still present in WinFsp 2023 version. Resolved by compiling the sshfs-win with the follow_symlinks argument baked in.
It would be great if we could set this flag via registry, so we can choose a wanted behavior.
