CuteFTP v4 User’s Guide Symbolic Links
This UNIX-specific option asks the server to resolve symbolic links to either a file or a directory. This option can cause problems
with non-UNIX servers. If you are having trouble displaying a list of files located on the server, try deselecting this option by going to
the Directory Navigation section of the Edit/Settings window. Select the Do not resolve links radio button.
