Can't handle Windows network shortcuts

[R34LiSM]

I'm having trouble using FileZilla with local MS network file shares. I'm trying to download remote files into a local MS network share, which has the local MS network identity \\myfilehost. The problem is FileZilla seems to mis-translate this into \myfilehost, and then creates C:\myfileshost before downloading the requested files.

Am I being stupid, or is something amiss?

Hello,

I'm having trouble using FileZilla with local MS network file shares. I'm trying to download remote files into a local MS network share, which has the local MS network identity \\myfilehost.

FileZilla isn't able to handle network shares. And support won't be implemented, because botg doesn't like them.
But there is a small workaround: If you assign a network share with a drive letter, it will work.

It's not because I don't like them. It is because Windows itself don't support network dirs completely, it's very buggy. Also I won't be able to test such a feature.
