'synchronize' fails on NULL filename
first off, I have no clue why there even is a file with a NULL filename (NULL as in nothing) or why the server allows it.
When trying to synchronize a folder containing a null filename, winscp commandline will fail as shown in the below log.
(Log has been washed for sensitive data):
Doing a dirlist and then trying a synchronize and a get on the server yields the following from winscp.com:
Note line four of the dir and the absence of a filename. Listing the same directory in winscp presents an empty filename as well and pressing delete asks for confirmation to delete ''.
I can't think of a proper way to retrieve a file with a NULL filename as NTFS wouldn't see the humor in it either so I'd suggest skipping such files or have a repeatable renaming scheme.

I can't think of a proper way to retrieve a file with a NULL filename as NTFS wouldn't see the humor in it either so I'd suggest skipping such files or have a repeatable renaming scheme.
