That usually happens when something converts a file or directory name from a windows (256 char length) back to an old DOS or early Windows running under DOS (8 char length) format. Do you remember doing anything or using a DOS based conversion or copy tool or command that might have caused that to happen? I haven't seen this in years.Originally Posted by Eshaw99
The way to fix it is to FTP to your web server using native Windows or UNIX and rename the folder manually. You might have to reestablish the links with your html editor. You can ftp to your server by typing
ftp://www.cigarbbguide.com
and giving your administrative login and password. That should get you a useable explorer-like window that you can use to rename the folder on the server.
Or you can download the utility called "NetDrive" (runs under native Windows and is free) that will let you map a drive letter to your server remotely. From there you ought to be able to rename the folder. This is a little more involved but really comes in handy for transferring files from your PC to your web server. You can get it at

At least that's my guess. Make sure you back all your web source files up before you start screwing with it.
