But I succeeded to remove the file with using FTP in Midnight Commander. So, it's not a problem on the server but with FileZilla.

Can you please provide logs with "raw directory listing" enabled?

I don't understand; Do you want I create again a new file with a space as the first letter? And then trying to delete it again with Filezilla?

I created a similar file (empty file with a space at the beginning). Now, I can delete it. I don't know how to reproduce it, I'm sorry.

Feel free to play around some more and once you can reproduce the problem, simply re-open this issue again. Thank you.

Still having this issue.
You can reproduce it by renaming a file on source window (Im using Windows machine) adding a leading space, transfer the file, and try to remove/rename/anything on destination window (Im using Linux rh6.5 vsftpd).
The file appears as no leading space on destination window.
The problem doesnt happen when ussing other FTP client like WinSCP, TotalCommander...
Thanks!
FileZilla ignores leading space of filename
This happens on FTP servers not supporting the MLSD command. On those servers FileZilla falls back to LIST. Unfortunately the listing format returned by LIST is not standardised. It is impossible to distinguish leading spaces from padding. To solve this issue, simply upgrade to a modern server supporting the MLSD command or refrain from using leading spaces.
