Freezing when accessing PRN Files

Hi Guys,
I had an issue where I couldn't scroll down a directory listing from a remote server. WinSCP would freeze up when I got to P.

It turns out that there was a file called PRN.html in the directory. PRN is a reserved name in Windows and cannot be used. (try creating a file called PRN.txt on your computer.

Anyway, removing PRN.html on the remote Unix machine resolved the issue.

I thought this may be related to problems others were having.

Cheers,

Not being able to copy symlinks under script control

I too experienced a freeze while downloading from server to workstation. In tracing the WinSCP log file the transfer stops when it encounters a symlink. This problem is reproducible. I have d/l'd the latest WinSCP to no avail. Just checking to see if anyone has a way around this?

Thanks,
