Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
and told that you would try a newer version, so the problem may have
been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could
test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it
is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-
collect 508785 and any other logs that are relevant for this particular
issue.
Also in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~veger/+archive/ppa) is a very new
version, that hopefully will be accepted into the Ubuntu repositories
soon (bug #905610), if you 'dare' you could try that one as well.

Title:
Symbolic links by FTP connection are opened as absolute path
Status in “mc” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: mc
I am using Pure-FTPd on server, which allows symbolic links in virtual
chroot to go outside of the chroot. I tryied 4 different FTP clients
on Windows, everyone opens the symbolic link correctly (CWD linkname),
but when I try it with Midnight Commander, he tryies open the link
with absolute path:
Server directory structure:
/var/www/login/
|-logs
|-ftp
| |- logs -> /var/www/login/logs
| |- somefiles
Chroot is on ftp directory. When I try some FTP clients, everyone
opens the logs symlink with 'CWD logs' but Midnight Commander executes
'CWD //var/www/login' (this I get from packet sniffer, perhaps he
tryies to open the absolute path, then the requested directory).
I just tryied the Nautilus, the behaviour is the same as Midnight
Commander, FileZilla works ok.
