[BUG] SSH connection bug on Hetzner: cannot operate on symlinked public_html folder when Root Path is /usr/home/<username>

[Bellonio]

Hi, I’ve encountered a problem with SSH connections on Hetzner servers where the public_html folder is actually a symlink (alias).

When I configure the connection with:
Root Path: /usr/home/<username>

this setup is required since Hetzner doesn’t allow access outside of the home directory (so I can’t browse down to public_html from /).

With this configuration:

• I can access the root folder and other subfolders (like .ssh, .tmp, etc.)
• I can open and read files inside public_html
  ❌ But I cannot create or move files directly inside the public_html folder, because it’s a symlink/alias.

The only workaround I found is setting:
Root Path: /usr/www/users/<username>

That path points to where public_html actually lives, and then I can freely do anything there — but this way I lose access to all other folders on the same level (like .ssh, .tmp, etc.), which is not ideal.

I need to be able to both:

• browse and access all folders under /usr/home/<username>
• and operate normally inside the symlinked public_html folder (as with other directories).

Thank you!
