Symlink resolution

[Mathieu4D]

I have some MacOS applications to upload on a samba server (on a windows server).
I am very happy to use this plugin because I haven't to mount the remote shares.
But when I upload my app containing symlinks, the result on the share is not symlink but the resolution of the symlink.

I use the DNS only name resolution, and I set a username password.

On macOS (source):

x.app/Contents/Frameworks/zlib.framework
lrwxr-xr-x  1 user group 26  7 sep 10:59 Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
drwxr-xr-x  4 user group 128  7 sep 10:59 Versions
lrwxr-xr-x  1 user group 21  7 sep 10:59 zlib -> Versions/Current/zlib

On Windows share (target):

x.app/Contents/Frameworks/zlib.framework
drwx------  1 user group 16384 26 sep 00:06 Resources/
drwx------  1 user group 16384 26 sep 00:05 Versions/
-rwx------  1 user group  77084 26 sep 00:06 zlib*

If I use a simple cp to copy the files with mounted volumes on the same share, the symlinks are preserved.
Perhaps, I have to add some config options to do the job, but which one and where.
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Thank you for the description. Unfortunately, symlinks preservation is not yet implemented. Should be doable using smbj library.

Thank you for your quick answer.
If there are some readers, I have a workaround using zip files.
I zip my app before I upload the file then I unzip when I used it.
2 steps more but quicker ans safer for the moment.

I think you can convert the issue to improvement.
