Cannot access specific folder on ftp server

Hello
There is a folder on my ftp server called 'dev_ntfs0:'. When double clicking on the listing, I get an error: 'File Error "/dev_ntfs0:"'. However, if I use the 'Open directory/bookmark' button, and enter /dev_ntfs0:/, I can access the contents of the folder. Furthermore, this then allows me to access the folder normally, until the server is next restarted. I have tested this same scenario using an ftp client on my mobile, and the issue doesn't occur there, so it seems specific to WinSCP.

I suspect the issue is ':' in the filename, but this can't be changed, as it is a mount point for an external hdd. Hopefully there's something in the log, and it's an easy fix.
