#3940 closed Bug report (duplicate)

Cannot handle files with some special character

Reported by: Michele Costantino Soccio Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: FileZilla Client
Keywords: special character Cc:
Component version: Operating system type: Windows
Operating system version: XP

Description

Filezilla will fail transferring files with filename starting with the special character '-'. Filezilla will also fail with filenames containing the special character '!'.

Not sure if this problem is only related to SFTP (my case) or to other protocols as well.

I can't seem to download files with the ':' character.

If I wanted to backup the emails from my hosting provider (that uses qmail) I can't use filezilla.

An example filename: 1221232396.H132123P1233.host.hostname.com:2,S

Filezilla will claim to have successfully transferred the file but the file will have zero-byte size and be named 1221232396.H132123P1233.host.hostname.com

I guess the ':' character is disallowed by windows.. but why the zero-byte filesize?

Btw, flashfxp will correctly transfer the file and replace the disallowed ':' character with '_'.
