It seems that ftpd is removing the brackets before evaluating any ftp commands on them. For example, from the debug log: command: TYPE I <--- 200 Type set to I. command: SIZE guid_{1234567890}_file.txt <-- 550 guid_1234567890_file.txt: No such file or directory. Is there a way to enable it to deal with such filenames? -- Bruce Cran
