FileZilla can not handle leading blank spaces in directory names
Reported by: | Dirk | Owned by: | |

Description
At least on Unix file systems (I didn't try Windows) FileZilla has problems, when the first character of a directory name is a blank.
You can rename "/xy/testdir" to "/xy/ testdir" with FileZila
and "/xy/ testdir" is shown correctly.
But after refreshing, it is shown as:"/xy/testdir" and can not be accessed with FileZilla any more or in any way.
You get:
Error: Directory /testdir: no such file or directory
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
This is correct, but does not help :)
It is not an issue of the Unix filesystem, because with other FTP-clients (e.g. WS_FTP Professional) everything works fine.
You may ask, why the hell is someone using one or more leading blanks in folder names. OK, I have to do it, but can't do it with FileZilla, so I had to change to another FTP client.
Please fix this, Thanks!

Indeed it’s duplicate, but it still isn’t solved since more than 10 years!
Strange and unexpected behaviour of FileZilla, that makes files and folders inaccessible for FileZilla itself, I would call a bug.
At that point I was forced to use another FTP-client (WS_FTP Professional) that works properly.
Closing the ticket, because it’s duplicate is not a solution and other FTP-clients show, that the problem can and should be solved.
