non-standard chars in dir name (colon)
I have a directory with a name of the format:
foo::bar

That is, the url would be
http://domain/foo::bar

When I point fileman at that dir, I get the following
Code:
A fatal error has occured:

work_path has invalid characters : html/RLW::UHF at /var/www/cgi-bin/private/lib/GT/FileMan.pm line 64.

Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

What can I do to make fileman able to get into that directory?

Tip: Don't use non-alpha charachters =)

UNIX (and NT) really don't like using non a-z 0-9 charachters. Personally, I would recommend just using different names.

The check's in FileMan are for a reason =)
