Not sure.

An alternative (although a hacky one) invoke setFollowSymlinks with
false in FTP#addFileset(). As it is addXYZ and not addConfiguredXYZ
any explicitly set attribute would override it (as the attributes will
get set after the invocation of add). Hmm, wait, you only want to
change the followsymlinks attribute if the fileset is a remote one,
right? You probably don't know that by the time addFileset gets
invoked.

+0, I'm not really sure and I don't really know what the expected
behavior would be. I'd probably expect put and get to behave the same
way, so the 1.5.x behavior would be wrong.
