Re: Does WinSCP support ftp names with brackets?

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

Does WinSCP support ftp names with brackets?

We have been using WinSCP for many years and it works great, except for a couple cases. One is when the file name on the FTP server has square brackets like [ and ]

Is there maybe a configuration option we missed to allow this character in the file name? Can a file have these characters?

Thanks,
