Bug Description
The Upload plugin needs support for 'symlink' file types. A way to detect remote filesystem type/symlink support would be preferable, otherwise it should warn the user of the symlinks that will not be uploaded.
Temporarily, I modified __init__.py as follows:
[in def upload_full_tree @line 447]:
...
elif ie.kind == 'directory': #existing
self.
elif ie.kind == 'symlink': #new
self.
...
This modification does not address other functions where the 'symlink' file type may appear, such as UploadTree. The modification also assumes that the receiving filesystem can handle symlinks correctly.
