-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add isDirectory, isSymlink, isRegularFIle, and isOther methods to Attributes
                 Key: SSHD-345
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-345
             Project: MINA SSHD
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
            Reporter: Jonathan Chien


Calling DefaultSftpClient.lstat or stat returns an Attributes object. It would be helpful if the Attributes object implemented or had the methods available of  the Java 7 BasicFileAttributes interface. 

The current missing methods are isDirectory, isSymlink, isRegularFIle, and isOther. This information is returned by the stat and without these methods, there's no good way to determine what time of file a Path is without using ChannelExec to do a test or stat manually.
