I have a folder with the name " test" with a space in the begining.
When I browse the parent directoy I get this link for my directory:

ftp://sample.com/test

Which doesn't work, but if I edit it manually to this:

ftp://sample.com/%20test

It works fine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder in FTP server with the name " test"
2. Access the parent folder for " test", using a URL like: ftp://sample.com/
3. Try to access " test" folder
4. You will get "no such file or directoy" error

Actual Results:  
Error Message

Expected Results:  
List the folder files
