We link to source of a TYPO3-installation via symlink so different installations use one source folder. I cleaned up the server and deleted a test installation with filezilla. Unfortunately fileziller deleted all files in the linked source folder, so all other TYPO3 instalations lost their source. I just tried: mkdir deletetest fisch:~/public_html$ touch deletetest/eins fisch:~/public_html$ touch deletetest/zwei fisch:~/public_html$ touch deletetest/drei fisch:~/public_html$ ln -s deletetest/ testdelete Now I deleted testdelete via Filezilla and got: fisch:~/public_html$ ls -l deletetest/ total 0 and still exits: 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 fisch fisch 11 Jul 28 19:39 testdelete -> deletetest/ Filezilla deleted the content of the linked folder, not the symlink itself. This is not, what I was expecting and can lead to big problems. This should be solved eg. behave as expected and deleting the symlink by default, giving an option in the setting dialog with a choice, how to behave or ask on deleting symlinks. Thnaks for your work Martin " Bug report new normal FileZilla Client symlink, delete, FTP, linux, windows 3.27.0.1 Windows 10
