#1 Feature request: Allow ftp direct editing for files which contain not allowed symbols in windows

For example I cant open file like "log.2015.12.06_00:11.txt". I think because of ":" symbol, and PSPad try to create copy of file somewhere in windows/temp folder with unallowed filename.

Since I have used the FTP feature very much during the last few years, something like this would be a cool improvement, but I suspect that PSEdit will need to write some (temporary) file on Windows anyway, sooner or later.

So here's another idea: Could any illegal char be converted to its %-notation, e.g. ":" to "%3A", so that the file Alex mentioned would be named "log.2015.12.06_00%3A11.txt" - on Windows - and converted back when send via ftp? If the auto-conversion would only be done when the file would be sent via FTP, there shouldn't be a problem.

(Edit: correct some typos)

PSPad already keeps FTP name and local file name separately. I handled special chars in FTP file name and replaced it with '_' for local file system purposes (backup, e.t.c.).
I hope your problem wil be solved in the next developer build
