Server side link resolution 

Attempt link resolution using LIST L command 

o 

Sends the LIST L command instead of LIST to display folder contents. LIST L 

attempts to list the actual file or folder rather than the link that points to the file or 

folder. 

o 

Clear this check box to send just the LIST command to display folder contents and 

leave links in the list. 

Note:  

Servers are not always able to resolve links using LIST L. 

Client side link resolution 

o 

Try to determine the link s target type by its extension   CuteFTP tries to tell if 

the link points to a file or a folder. CuteFTP treats the link as if it were the item it 

references. 

o 

Always assume the link is a file (don t attempt to resolve)   treats symbolic links 

as files. If you download the link it displays as a file with size 0 in your local folder.   

Tip:  

This option is useful when you download large directories or folders with 

many files and subfolders.  

o 

Always assume the link is a folder (don t attempt to resolve)   treats symbolic 

links as folders that you can double click to see folder contents. 

Note: 

CuteFTP attempts to show the actual path of a file or folder link in the 

Remote pane, under the Name column.  For example, a link to a file 

called archive.zip might show .3/networks/bbs_info/archive.zip
