Special Characters in Folder Name

Question

I can't seem to find a way to GET folders and related files with special characters in the folder name. Renaming the folders or files is not an option. Dreamweaver is the only client in which this seems to be an issue in. Any idea of how I can use Dreamweaver to access these files, even if only on the remote server?

If Dw is not allowing you to do this, then using a 3rd party FTP program such as -

https://filezilla-project.org/

is probably the best option. Or a firefox browser extension, such as -

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Gb/firefox/addon/fireftp/

may also work.

Although you can use extended characters in file/directory names on Linux, I would avoid doing so for the same reasons people sometime have problems using them in text on web pages. You should test your complete workflow: local computer to remote web server > file called from web page, etc. All it takes is one link in the chain to map the character differently and you have problems.
