That has nothing to do with the behaviour of FTP server. The ISO9660 filesystem has no concept of symlinks, they are an extension. And since DOS doesn't know about that extension, and can (and may) choose to ignore it. > The same exact thing occurs with some DOS and Windows FTP clients. With FTP servers the server should follow the symlink, unless it chooses not to for some reasons (security probably).
