JFrog Artifactory - how to upload symlinks properly and download the destination - artifactory

Question

I have the following artifactory repo and directory structure:
my-repository/binaries/binary.file
my-repository/dir1/
my-repository/dir2/
...
I would like to do add a symlink of binary.file in dir1 and dir2.
Assuming that I've added binary.file as follows:
$ jfrog rt u binary.file my-repository/binaries/binary.file
So here's where I fail to understand the concept of symlinks in artifactory.
I've created the same directory structure on the local filesystem and created a symlink:
$ find .
./my-repository/
./my-repository/binaries/
./my-repository/binaries/binary.file
./my-repository/dir1/
./my-repository/dir2/
$ cd my-repository/dir1/
$ ln -s ../binaries/binary.file .
$ jfrog rt u --symlinks binary.file my-repository/dir1/
...
$ cd /tmp
$ jfrog rt dl --validate-symlinks my-repository/dir1/binary.file

If I remove the --validate-symlinks argument, then an empty file gets downloaded. What is the proper way of uploading symlinks and vice-versa, downloading such? Is there a way to download the destination file by using a symlink?
