In jfrog cli, --symlink is a parameter used for preserving the soft links structure in Artifactory during the upload. So for downloading you can use the following command 

jfrog rt dl generic-local/latest.tgz

In addition, when downloading symlinks stored in Artifactory, the CLI can verify that the file to which the symlink points actually exists and that it has the correct SHA1 checksum. To add this validation, you should use the --validate-symlinks option with the download command.
