sftp - FTP server mysterious behavior - can anyone explain why this happens? -

we have sftp i.e secure ftp server , able login.

using filezilla tried create next file directly.

employee_details_export_2014-11-03 03:12:11.csv

the filezilla doesn't create file , prompt error message saying - filename may not contain of next characters:/:*?" <>|

where next works fine..

create test file renamed employee_details_export_2014-11-03 03:12:11.csv

not sure happening , issue here?

please allow me know in detail.

thanks in advance.

as has been suggested, don't utilize colons. messing around, however, i'm guessing you've found unavoidable bug in filezilla. restricted character list characters restricted on windows.

there not mkfile command, when create new file named "abc.txt" you'll along lines of:

command: set "[path]\empty_file_yq744zm" "abc.txt"

status: local:[path]\empty_file_yq744zm => remote:[path]/abc.txt

so happens filezilla creates file on local machine, , uploads it. however, windows won't allow create file colon, fails. however, there rename command, , has nil windows environment. can create directory colon without issues since there mkdir command.
