"Operation not supported by device" when trying to create symlink during sync

I have tested on latest 13.6 and previous 13.5. Running on Windows, and connected to linux machine over SFTP. Files sync correctly but symlinks give errors. I have "Include symbolic links" set to "As links." I have attached a screenshot of the log. In the example I attached, I just made 2 folders on the same host, dir1 and dir2. Dir1 has a single file, file1, and a symlink to that file, link1. When I sync to dir2, file1 gets created correctly, but the symlink gives the error "Operation not supported by device." Note that I am able to connect to this same linux machine via command line SFTP or WinSCP and create symlinks with no issue.

Copying symlinks between SFTP wasn't implemented. But now it is: https://www.mediafire.com/file/tc8dvxa1ibqy128/FreeFileSync_13.7_%255BBeta%255D_Windows_Setup.exe
