How do I know a SftpName of type SymbolicLink is linked to a directory or a file?

[jonahzheng]

final sftp = await client.sftp();
final items = await sftp.listdir('/');
for (final item in items) {
  if ((file.attr.isSymbolicLink)){
     print(item.longname);
  }
}

You can use sftp.stat with followLink set to true to check the attributes of the target of the link.

final sftp = await client.sftp();

final files = await sftp.listdir('/');

for (var file in files) {
  if (file.attr.isSymbolicLink) {
    final stat = await sftp.stat(file.filename, followLink: true);
    print('type: ${stat.mode?.type}');
  }
}
