https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2722

            Bug ID: 2722
           Summary: Symbolic links aren't listed properly by sftp
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.5p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: sftp
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: mi+mindrot at aldan.algebra.com

Doing dir/ls/ls -l in a directory containing symbolic links, one can
see the FACT that they are symbolic links, but not their TARGETS:

sftp> ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx    1 foo bar  3 May 22 16:27 mealink
lrwxrwxrwx    1 foo bar  3 May 22 10:34 mealinktoo

Most inconvenient...

Looks like there was an attempt to address this in times of 3.4p1:

but nothing ever came of it. Why would such a basic feature be missing
for so long?
