| When WinSCP reads directory content, it by default also resolves any symbolic links (symlinks) it finds. Particularly to learn if they point to file or directory. If a directory contains too many symbolic links, it can slow down opening the directory. You may disable the feature by unticking //Resolve symbolic links// to speed it up. You may also use the option when WinSCP hangs when resolving cyclic links. While WinSCP detects most cyclic links, it can still hang when it encounters more complex symbolic link "systems". Note that when the resolving is disabled, creating links is effectively disabled too. Also when the resolving is disabled, double-clicking on any remote file will be interpreted as an attempt to open the directory with the same name. This allows opening links pointing to directories even when WinSCP does not know they are links. | When WinSCP reads directory content, it by default also resolves any symbolic links (symlinks) it finds.
