ftp.GetList() method is not returned soft links items which is created on Linux server.

i have 2 types links in Linux server one is soft link and one is hard link.

hard links are getting but soft links are not getting.
any way to get it.

Two types of links

There are two types of links

symbolic links: Refer to a symbolic path indicating the abstract
location of another file hard links : Refer to the specific location
of physical data. How do I create soft link / symbolic link?

To create a symbolic link in Unix or Linux, at the shell prompt, enter
the following command: ln -s {target-filename} {symbolic-filename}

Soft symbolic links should also be returned by GetList method. However, we need to see what was going on between the Rebex FTP client and your server to be able to see whether this is client or server issue and hopefully solve this problem.

So pleasecreate a log of communication and then post it here as another answer or send the log to support@rebex.net. Based on the log we'll be able to advice what to do next and hopefully solve this issue.
