This looks to be because the Fish VFS runs ls with -L (dereference symlinks) on the remote side and therefore only receives information on the dereferenced files. This includes the length of the file so MC stalls waiting for data when the remote host is reading the much smaller contents of the symlink. }}} Comment 1 by Pavel Tsekov at Thu 05 May 2005 08:23:21 AM UTC: {{{ Symlinks to what ? A Directory, a file ? Have you checked that you have read permissions for the target of the symlink ? }}} Comment 2 by Pavel Tsekov at Thu 05 May 2005 01:05:11 PM UTC: {{{ I ask because I had experience with FISH similiar to the one described by the original poster. See this post: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2002-November/msg00067.html }}} Comment 3 by Anonymous at Fri 06 May 2005 05:33:00 PM UTC: {{{ Symlinks to files. I don't think I had any problems with directories, now you come to mention it. I did have sufficient permissions for the files: everything was world-readable. }}} " defect closed major 4.6.2 mc-core fixed 157 merged
