The current functions in the
SftpClient
class don’t support interacting with symbolic links directly. By adding an additional parameter,getRealPath
, to theGetCanonicalPath
function, we can get a reference to the symbolic link instead of a reference to the file that it points to. The default value for this parameter is set totrue
so that the original behavior is maintained for existing code.The added functions
GetSymbolicLink
,SymbolicLinkExists
, andDeleteSymbolicLink
useGetCanonicalPath
withgetRealPath
set tofalse
to get and delete symbolic links.
