    sftp> symlink C:\foobar foobar
    sftp> symlink C:\windows windows
    
sftp> ls -al

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Dec  5 19:31 windows
    sftp> get foobar
    Fetching /home/Administrator/foobar to foobar
    Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory
    sftp> cd windows
    Couldn't canonicalise: No such file or directory

The command symlink worked but the actual access didn't
