Follow-up Comment #2, bug #45037 (project wget):
Use -d to get
Unlinking README (symlink).
In ftp.c you will find those lines:
/* Remove it if it's a link. */
remove_link (con->target);
This is done by purpose (I just can guess why: not to overwrite the content
the link points to).
The question is: is it a bug or a feature ? Should we just document this
behaviour (maybe it already is).
