[jira] [Commented] (IO-295) FileUtils.isSymlinks misses symlink folders

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-295?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13633679#comment-13633679 ] 

Sebb commented on IO-295:
-------------------------

Looks like DIR does not list symlinks without adding either * or ? to the end of the path.
This means that the DIR command may return details for other symbolic links that happen to match the wildard expression.
The suggested patch would need enhancing to prevent false matches.

> I created a symlink folder via mklink.
> Then, while debugging, I noticed that FileUtils.isSymlink() returns false on this directory, while Java 7's Files.isSymbolicLink() returns true.
