Bug Description
I am not sure whether to classify this as a bug or a feature request:
When transferring files to a remote location, e.g. an FTP host, symlinks are copied as symlinks - instead of the local file they are pointing to. I cannot think of a scenario where this should be the desired behaviour, but in case Caja would prefer to do it this way - I would suggest a setting that should determine whether copying/moving over the network should resolve symlinks or not.
The reverse case works as expected: copying a symlinked remote file pulls the remote target.
