 Symlinks to files. I don't think I had any problems with
 directories, now you come to mention it.

 I did have sufficient permissions for the files: everything was
 world-readable.

 I ask because I had experience with FISH similiar to the one
 described by the original poster. See this post:

 Symlinks to what ? A Directory, a file ? Have you checked that you
 have read permissions for the target of the symlink ?

 Copying symlinks from Fish VFS freezes the UI.

 This looks to be because the Fish VFS runs ls with -L (dereference
 symlinks) on the remote side and therefore only receives information
 on the dereferenced files.

 This includes the length of the file so MC stalls waiting for data
 when the remote host is reading the much smaller contents of the
 symlink.
