Details about issue

I use s3fs to mount a bucket created on a on premises s3 storage compatible system (DataCore Swarm)
I have create a bucket with file and directory from GUI s3 storage system.
I can mount the bucket in /localsystem/bucket01, i can write a file, i can create a directory, i can delete an object.
If i create a directory from s3fs i have
drwxr-xr-x testfolder
i can access in this folder and i can create or delet e object.

If i create a folder from G
UI s3 storage system i have
-rwxr-x--- testfolder2
and in this case, from s3fs, i can't access to the folder because for linux server is a file.

If i try to access with GUI s3 storsge system in testfolder or testfolder2, i can access, put and get object in this 2 folders.
From GUI i find:
testfolder2 application/x-directory (created from s3fs)
testfolder application/directory (created from gui)

Is there any parameters to use for this issue?
Is possible set s3sf to create directory with application/directory as type instead of application/x-directory?

@lucdurb
For example, when s3fs creates a dir directory(folder), it creates an object called dir/.
When you create a dir/file object using the SDK(such as aws cli), objects called dir or dir/ are not created.
This difference was causing problems like this issue.
Your version of s3fs is old and is highly affected by this issue. (If the s3fs you are using has an option such as compat_dir, you can try it. You can check it with s3fs -h etc.)

If possible, please use the latest s3fs.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
