FTP Plugin and Symlinks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What Plugin does this relate to? FtpEdit Plugin
What version of the Plugin? 0.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the Ftp browser to connect to a server that has a folder that is a
symlink to another folder
2. Double click the symlink

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

First off, I would expect to see the symlink to the folder listed with a
folder icon, instead of the unknown file icon.

When double clicking on the symlink, I expect to see the contents of the
folder as if I had clicked a real folder. However, instead it tries to
download the symlink and opens up a blank file.

What version of Editra are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Sorry. This is Editra v0.4.95 on Windows XP Service Pack 3. Python 2.5

I'm a fair python developer, I'll see what I can do to submit a patch for the 
plugin.

Yea, that plugin is still an initial draft version. I did not take symlinks to
directories into consideration when writing it.

Likely will require some tweaks to the output parser to resolve the link (if 
this
information is shown in the ftp output.
