Hehe, indeed. That's a good one.
I implemented copying of symlinks the way cp -a works : a copy of a symlink
is a symlink. In the case of an FTP download, though, it's not what the user
wants :-))

I think the solution is to make that a copy of the file (or dir) pointed by
the symlink when src and dest protocols are different.
