Recently I have identified some characters that seem to cause my PB360+ problems during file transfer from my PC. I am unable to transfer directory names that contain the characters
vertical bar |
question mark ?
colon :

The filename Linux uses for URLs (at least the way I use it) also causes issues, of the form http://domain.tld/blahblah which I will speculate is due to the colon.

These are only the characters I have found so far, there may be others. Anyone have any insight into the problem? As far as I know there's only the one firmware version. TIA, marf.
