Yeah, we went back and forth with Mark on that one for a while.

It's Microsofts' bug. When using their FTP browser enhancements, every folder will have a nonexistent file that looks like a shortcut, but with random characters in its file name.

Microsoft isn't following the standard for communicating with the FTP server. Mark's FTP Daemon is following the standard, which is somehow confusing Microsoft and there's that extra entry appearing. At least that's how I understand it to be.

Tom, you might want to mention THAT on the web page, too.

The fact that the characters in the icon name are random hunks of memory makes me think that the potential for a buffer overflow exploit exists there somewhere....
