space at the beginning of a directory name causes problems

[Michael]

Mind-numbling stupid, but on a linux system I can create a directory using ftp
ftp.mkdir('xxx/ xxxx')
enter directory 'xxx', and list the contents (not using filezilla), I get ' xxxx'.
I can add a directory 'xxxx', and place a file in directory 'xxxx'
filezilla shows two 'xxxx' directories, and if I open either directory then the file in directory 'xxxx' is displayed.
I can remove directory 'xxxx', but filezilla still shows that it exists, and it cannot be removed.
if I rename the directory
ftp.rename('xxx\ xxxx','xxx\xxxxx'); I can remove it using filezilla.
As I said Mind-numbingly stupid!

Please update to a more modern FTP server supporting the MLSD command.
