Filezilla considers a text file like a directory

[iccaro]

Version: Filezilla cliente 3.1.5

Local operating system: Windows Xp SP2

Description: We have some text files named *.RAW in a server. When I open the directory where they are placed, Filezilla consider these files like directories. The icon corresponds to a directory. When I try to drag and drop a file (to get one of these files), I cannot do it. The log is the following:

Command: CWD file.RAW
Response: 550 file.RAW: A parameter must be a directory.
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

If I make "double click" in one of these files (as I it was a directory) the response is the following:

Command: RETR file.RAW
Response: 150 Opening data connection for file.RAW (768870 bytes).
Response: 226 Transfer complete.

With other ftp clients it works.

Furthermore, we have other servers with this type of files, and they work properly.

The directory entry is a symbolic link. Unfortunately symbolic links can point to both directories and files and there's no way to distinguish them, that's why they always appear as directories.

The link discovery heuristic will work for drag & drop in the next version.
