Description Alvin Mites 2012-11-24 20:46:20 UTC 
When I use nautilus to connect to a remote server via SFTP it is unable to follow symlinks

browsing to the directory where the symlink targets works properly as does following symlinks on my local system

this is new to version 3.6.x as the behavior did not exist in 3.5.x
