Hi

First of all, thank you for midnight commander. Ive been using it for many years and Ive always loved it.

Now for the bug report:
Im currently using v4.5.55 of midnight commander and has found 2 bugs in the ftp part.
1: Symlinks that points to a directory with an ending slash (/) cant be resolved. For example:
    if the symlink is created with
    ln -s my_directory /ftpd/no_trailing
    all works fine but if the symlink is created with 
    ln -s my_directory/ /ftpd/trailing
    the symlink wont resolve.
    When not in ftp mode, midnight commander can handle both versions of symlinks.

2: ctrl-r (as in rescan) doesnt rescan the directory in ftp mode. Not even logging out/in from the site helps.
    Only restarting midnight commander seems to help. If one does something at the site (like uploading and
    removing a file/directory) midnight commander automatically rescans the directory.
    So it seems to me that the problem is the ctrl-r command (doesnt help if one uses the drop-down list and
    chooses rescan from there either).

Kind regards, Jonas Bjorkstrand
