Unable to download ± character

[Jodah]

I get an error every time I try to download the ± character. It is not a foreign language, just something I come across often with technical people. Can you please include support for this?

Thank you. I love this program otherwise.

Below are my details:

The interesting parts are:

Control Connection

Command: OPTS UTF8 ON
Response: 200 Always in UTF8 mode.
Status: Invalid character sequence received, disabling UTF-8. Select UTF-8 option in site manager to force UTF-8.
Command: MDTM 524120092A5034A17±pg04.dwg
Response: 213 20130408195423

Data Connection

Command: OPTS UTF8 ON
Response: 200 Always in UTF8 mode.
Command: RETR 524120092A5034A17±pg04.dwg
Response: 550 Failed to open file.

So to put it in easy words: The FTP server supports UTF-8. The FTP server claims to always use UTF-8. Still FileZilla detected an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence when receiving the directory listing. FileZilla asks for the last modification date of file and gets a server response. FileZilla later on tries to download that file, but the server claims it cannot open the file.

1) What are the file permissions? Is the logged in user allowed to open/read that file?

2) Is the file name valid UTF-8 or was it created using a non-UTF-8 aware client? (And the FTP server erroneously accepted the given file name byte-sequence?)
