Niklas Gustavsson commented on FTPSERVER-272:
---------------------------------------------
How should this work with regards to the user home directory and moving upward
(..) with CWD? That is, if user home dir is /home/foo and /home/foo/bar links
to /home/bar. Where should the user end up if he does:
CWD bar
CWD ..
Is he now in /home or in /home/foo? I'm assuming /home/foo as otherwise we
would allow him access outside of his defined root. If my assumtion is correct,
we would need to keep a history of where the user was when he did CWD bar,
right?
> follow symbolic links

>
> there should be a way to make the ftpserver follow symbolic links instead of
> keeping the symbolic link as pwd:
> Command: CWD link
> Response: 250 CWD command successful.
> Command: PWD
> Response: 257 "/linkedToFolder" is current directory.
> you might want to make this the default behavior as some other ftp server do
> that (to investigate)
> for links the file.getAbsolutePath() gives you the link path and
> file.getCanonicalPath() gives you the real (linked to) path
> (only tested on Linux with sun jvm, not sure this is defined in the spec)
