Description
Rename files, converting characters that would be illegal on the destination host to acceptable
characters.
As an example, when transferring a file whose name contains ":" (colon) from unix to a PC running
Windows NT, FileZilla truncates the filename just prior to the colon and writes no bytes. It
also claims in the status window that the transfer was successful. (I've reported this as a bug.)
Simply converting all such illegal characters to "_" (underscore) would be ok, since that is what some
other FTP clients do. If you want to go a step beyond that, you might allow the user to specify the
character to use or even allow a mapping table.
Thanks!
