Wow, this works great. Many thanks for the update.
With FTP being such an old standard I wouldn't think people would be mucking with it. Interesting that this problem happened with both of the FTP servers I tried. The first was my ftp server on a Synology NAS box, and the 2nd was the ftp server ...

Re: Problematic characters in folder name (using ftp)
If I do the compare so that "Plans [2000]" is the base folder, then the compare indicates that all the files in the folder are missing from the ftp site, but it doesn't list the folder itself as missing. Your theory that the FTP server is simply not returning any folder information doesn't seem to ...

Re: Problematic characters in folder name (using ftp)
I mean that on the left side (my local drive) it lists all 17 files in the Plans [2000] folder, and on the right side (the ftp server) it is completely blank indicating that those 17 files are not on the server (but they are!).

Problematic characters in folder name (using ftp)
One of my folders happens to be named "Plans [2000]". When I click on the compare button to compare it (using file size comparison) with the files on my server (using standard ftp over port 21) it indicates that all the files are missing on the server even though they are not. If I go ahead and hit ...
