I do not know how. Wildcards are not an option for GUI client. Cannot you use SFTP?

OK, seems to be so, didn't think of that.

Re: Changing to a directory with special character (@) fails

I believe that this is problem of the scponly shell, not of WinSCP.

Changing to a directory with special character (@) fails

Version: 4.1.9 and 4.2.3 Beta
Windows XP SP 3, all updates (except september 2009) installed
SCP protocol
No scripting/automation, standard install of WinSCP
Full error message:
----- snip -----
Command 'cd "Bl@ck"'
failed with return code -1 and error message
invalid characters in scp command!
here:@ck"
try using a wildcard to match this file/directory.
----- snip -----

Steps taken: double-click on the remote folder named "Bl@ck" (it's a PHPBB3 style)
Server: Debian Lenny, scponly 4.8-4

There's another issue with the same folder when syncronizing folders, I think it's also related to the problem mentioned above.
The sync throws an error when trying the Bl@ck folder (but is able to skip and seems to show the correct changed files later):
----- snip -----
Command 'ls -la --full-time "/path/to/the/folder/PHPBB3/html/styles/Bl@ck"'
failed with return code -1 and error message
invalid characters in scp command!
here:@ck"
try using a wildcard to match this file/directory.
