I've got a website with some folders connected by symlinks (ln -s ...) that can created under linux.
When I try to import this site by ftp into eclipse the file list contains a huge account of folders that doesn't exists, only implicid by the symlink. For example:
/downloads/a, /downloads/donwloads/a, /downloads/downloads/donwloads/a, /downloads/downloads/donwloads/downloads/a etc.
Is there a possibility to stop the ftp file listing when recognizing a symlink instead of showing all possible folder listings?

The FTP/WebDAV plugins are not officially supported but patches will be gratefully    accepted.

We are in the process of removing the Team FTP/WebDAV feature since the DSDP Target management component (http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/) provides complimentary functionality and will be shipping as part of Europa. Although the feature will not be part of Europa, we have provided a link to a 3.3 compatible version of the feature at http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Team_Development.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
