I have a directly of sym links and they don't work when connecting through SFTP (secure file transfer). They all show up as MS-DOS files or just "File". Are there plans to fix this?
The latest update addresses the problem. There is still a small problem when you double click on a link to file. But this problem will be fixed in the next version as well. https://www.smartftp.com/download

mb, looks like the fix you made did fix it. One comment though--I have directory with 300 sym links (a hosting box) and it takes a very long time load the directory (it's resolving paths). Would it be better to resolve the path once it's click on?
Also, I found twice, that after a directory listing it doesn't allow me to click on any directories or download files. The first time was immediately after login. The next time was after clicking on a symlinked dir. The circle that spins when processing in the connection tab, doesn't stop spinning. Here is the log from the initial connection:

Also, would it be possible to have the dialog boxes ("are you sure you want to close?" or "are you sure you want to close sftp?") appear in the middle of the SFTP window instead of the middle of the screen? If you don't have the window maximized and off to the side, then they appear somewhere else.
That's all for now.

Hello derril ..
Please try the latest version. You can now disable the auto resolve links and the links are resolved correctly when you double click them. However I still recommend to keep the auto resolve links settings enabled.
