Originally published: 6 Mar 07. I ran into a rather unusual problem yesterday.
A client who has been FTP'ing files to one of our servers for over a year now changed their FTP client program. For some reason on our 2003 servers the arriving files could no longer be manipulated using Windows, instead we had to use an old DOS prompt and the hidden 8.3 filenames to access these files (I thought DOS was dead and buried a long time ago!).
After a few hours looking for insight from Google, I failed to come up with any insight on how to address the issue. Instead we asked the client to ensure that the files arriving adhered to a 8.3 filename convention and we walked away from the problem..... muttering and pretending that it doesn't exist.
