Square brackets in folder/filenames

Hello,

I'm having trouble with square brackets ([]) in my file names. I used to access the stuff sab downloaded through ftp, but now sab leaves the square brackets in the filenames. And apparently my ftp server/client does not like those brackets. Has anyone any clue how to fix this, is there some hidden rename/filter option in sab, or some nice third-party script?
Thanks in advance!

SABnzbd doesn't suddenly leave square brackets in filenames, it never removed them.
Only truly illegal characters are removed (very few).
The difference is that you recently started downloading stuff that contains those characters.
I'm afraid you need to look at your ftp software.
Or write your own renaming script...
