Hi,

i'm using the SftpFileSystemProvider to implement a simple rsync.

When i use Files.delete( Path ) on a symbolic link there are some problems i havent managed to fix.

When the symlink points to a non-existant file, i get an exception while reading its attributes.

When the symlink points to a directory, i get an exception in the order of file not found.

I've done some tracing and debugging, and it looks like the client does follow the symlink, this should not be the case,

From: Package java.nio.file, Symbolic Links

"For the most part, symbolic links are transparent to applications and operations on symbolic links are automatically redirected to the target of the link. Exceptions to this are when a symbolic link is deleted or renamed/moved in which case the link is deleted or removed rather than the target of the link."

Is this a known bug or design choice, or does this merit a more complete bugreport?

Gr. Simon
