With SFTP version below 3 WinSCP does not work with symbolic links, because the protocol does not support them. Entering directory pointed by symlink may be possible anyway, but I do not have any server that supports SFTP below 3 available. So I cannot try it. Can you create a test account for me?

I was wrong when I told you the version of SSH. I was testing on a diferent computer which has an older version of SSH and because of this its ports are not opened for comunications outside my network for security reasons. Anyway, if you want I could leave you somewhere the binary of this old version of SSH for linux so you can test it. It is not a secure version anyway and should not be used.

So I have tried with the correct computer and the symb links are correctly followed, but with SFTP v3
