Symlinks not properly managed under SCP

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out on this matter.

I’ve done some research on symlinks and found that they may not be handled as reliably with the SCP protocol. Could you please try using an SFTP connection instead? It appears that symlinks are better supported with this protocol.

Additionally, could you let me know whether you are able to use symlinks with third-party SCP clients, such as WinSCP or another tool of your choice?

I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Thanks for helping me on this matter. I would like to underline if it's possible changing subject due to a typo
manager --> managed

If i try SFTP, i cannot browse at all inside linux filesystem. If i use Filezilla and add a SFTP profile i can browse till the root of the filesystem and see properly symlinks. So SFTP is worst than SCP.
What i mean is that if i login with SFTP embedded i can see some folders and the classic ".." to go up in directory does not exist


I also tried to put ".." in the browse bar...it seems there are some problems with embedded SFTP as per my experience

If i use WINSCP tool installed on my pc, i can see properly symlinks.

What's getting puzzled is that it seems that RDM relies on my installed version of Winscp, according to this


I can add SCP profiles under Winscp installation, but since we have this good features "open with parameters" , i think that it's a pity not using it in the way it meant to be

Hello,

Thank you for the follow-up.

I was able to reproduce the issue you are experiencing with the symlinks. I will report this bug to the development team, and they will begin working on a fix soon.

I will follow up with you as soon as a fix is deployed in a future update.

Best regards,
