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!
