When clicking on directory symbolic link at some sftp server, the
tuxcmd tries to execute it (brings up the terminal window). Also it's
impossible to determine the target of the symlink (maybe, should be
display as a tooltip).

    Live symlinks in VFS is somewhat tricky and disabled by default. We would need to fully simulate the symlink system and due to complexity it's highly vulnerable to any bugs.
