Thanks for your work...
I tested WinSCP creating symbolic links on a Linux OpenSSH server and all work FINE.
The problem seems to be resctricted to SSH.com server.

If You read my last previous messages, You notice that I think this is a GENERAL problem (not only chrooted environment) beetwen WinSCP and SSH.com server.
Can You test your own SSH.com server on Unix/Linux (is freely available) trying creating symbolic links with WinSCP client?

Sorry, I haven't noticed that. However I do not know how to help you. Can you create a test account on your server for me?

Sorry... creating accounts for externals is not permitted...

Using SSH.com's SFTP command line version (tested under both Linux & Windows) there are no problems at all creating symlinks (SFTP command SYMLINK) of any type, relative or absolute, logged as chrooted or no chrooted accounts.

:-( Do you have any non-chrooted account? If you do, please try to do the same with it to check it really has something to do with chrooted enviroment. It may break the SFTP implementation. Please let me know. However I'm leaving for one week now, so do not expect an anwer soon.

Yes, the server is under my full control :wink: .
I tried the same test logged as root (no chrooted) with same bad results :cry: .

Found another small thing concerning symbolic links: On our debian linux system a symbolic link (link2) pointing to a symbolic link (link1) pointing to a folder is displayed as a link to a file:

link2 -> link1
link1 -> folder

It works fine for me. Is it SFTP or SCP? What version of SFTP? Please post a log file.

Sorry, my fault. Was using SCp. Now using SFTP all works fine. Should have checked this first. Thanks for the help!

- symbolic link "link1" is created in current directory. it has directory icon with small arrow over it.

NO, it is created a symbolic link "somesubdir" in the home root (/, I'm chrooted...).
Looking at symbolic link properties I see:
"Location: /
Links to: /somedir/link1"

I'm sorry... :oops:

I suppose that you still use SFTP (not SCP). What version of SFTP? On status line (bottom of the main windows) you can see something like "SFTP (v3)".

YES, SFTP (v3), my SFTP server is a linux SSH.com 3.2.9.1

Please can you try repeat following tests that I did one my SFTP v3 server (and it was working as expected). The key shortcuts correspons to Norton-commander interface.
