Hallo,
I have three feature requests:
1. Could you please  allow to use compression when connecting to an SFTP server?
2. Proper handling of symlinks to folders on SFTP-Servers as folders, not as files (current behavior).
3. Loading the configured size of the last bytes for tail files at reload(currently no last bytes are loaded by reload).

Thank you.

Thanks for fix.
It works almost perfectly. It seems like you check if the link-destination starts with '.' to see if it is a relative path or not.
I think you have to check if the link-destination doesn't start with "/" to detect relative-path.

Thanks.

Thanks for the update.

Yes - this is what we are doing.  The suggested approach makes sense.  I will take a look for the next BETA release.

Hi Marauder,

Just wanted to let you know that we have just introduced v2.5.56 as a BETA release which contains the updated symlink check as discussed above. 

Hope that helps.  Thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention.
