Description meex 2023-12-07 14:06:30 UTC 
SUMMARY
when loading a file on a remote server (VPS) for which the file is symbolically linked, and then saving changes to the file, the symlink is replaced with the actual file

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  edit a sym-linked text file on remote server
2. save changes

OBSERVED RESULT
symlink is replaced with the actual file

EXPECTED RESULT
behavior should be the same as when working with local files; the symlink should not be replaced

Unfortunately, fixing this is not going to be trivial.... The way it works is that the file is downloaded, edited and then uploaded on save...
