Andreas Persson commented on VFS-345:
-------------------------------------

I've investigated this a little bit further.

The structure that causes the bug for me is:

/dir1/dir2/dir3/file
/link -> /dir1/dir2

- then, the URL ftp://server/link/dir3 returns false from exists().

This is with a Solaris ftp server. On Apache FtpServer it works.

> After the fix from VFS-307, the FTP provider does not handle symbolic links correctly.
> A symlink to a directory returns false from exists(). getType() returns FileType.IMAGINARY.
