Could you see if proftpd debug logging shows any issues when listing these
directories?

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Debugging.html

Also, which version of proftpd are you using?

Cheers,

Hi,

I haven't debugged this yet, and i can't reproduce the error myself,
but what i've noticed when this happen is that, when i login via ssh,
i can see that the folder is named with a questionmark instead of the
swedish character. Ie:

Folder?ame

If I create a new directory via ftp it does work, so it seems like
it's happening when clients from outside are uploading folders with
swedish characters. Not sure if this is the case everytime, or from
the same client though.
