A folder was created that contains unicode characters. Unfortunately, I can't seem to access this with any of my ftp clients. I've tried wsftp, FTP Voyager, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla. I can see the folder properly in the DiscountASP.NET Control Panel. Just renaming the folders would be acceptable. Any ideas?

550 ^^^: The system cannot find the file specified.

The '^^^' is what is listed as the name of the folder. I was able to get the unicode characters (through the DiscountASP.net control panel), but I can't change or rename or delete the folder. From a little more research I did, it seems that urls cannot have characters that are not part of the latin ascii set. It might therefore be impossible to do anything with ftp. Now if only DiscountASP.net had some sort of file management utility that was web-based.
