 Note that there is no authentication on http protocol - this is expected to be
 done by the permissions on the socket.
 
+### Symlinks / Junction points
+
+The webdav protocol does not support symlinks or junction points and
+by default rclone will skip them completely.
+
+You can use ` + "`-L`" + ` to get rclone to follow symlinks or you can
+use ` + "`--local-links`" + ` to make rclone show ` + "`.rclonelink`" + `
+files in place of the symlinks.
+
+**NB** Do not use ` + "`--links`" + ` as since v1.69 this applies to
+the VFS layer too, use ` + "`--local-links`" + ` which only applies to
+the local backend only.
