How do I delete a file with a \ in the filename

I have a system on my website where users can upload their own pictures and the PHP system I have on my website generates the file name for each picture uploaded. Somehow, it ended up with 4 files that are like this:


Myths of Odera: "Eternal Soul" Screen1.jpg
Myths of Odera: "Eternal Soul" Screen2.jpg
Myths of Odera: "Eternal Soul" Screen3.jpg
Myths of Odera: "Eternal Soul" Screen4.jpg
Myths of Odera: "Eternal Soul" Title.jpg


When I try to delete or rename these files, it gives me an error saying "Prohibited file name." Is there any other way to remove these files.

Excellent question...

I uploaded a TXT file, renamed it "Myths of Odera: "Eternal Soul" Screen1.jpg," and successfully deleted it. What version of SmartFTP are you using?

Hmm, you also might try CHMOD'ing the files to 666/777. I doubt it would make a difference, but- like I said, I'm able to delete those same filenames.

You might also want to check your PHP script, looks like it's generating some funky filenames.
