NW6.5 FTP-file-mismatch with FTP over TotalCommander

Question

Hello *
We use the FTP-Service within the TotalCommander-Program (TC from
www.ghisler.com) to access a NetWare-NSS-Volume.
Some filenames contains periods and space characters also
(e.g. "1.2 Chapter x.pdf".)
After a couple of weeks (~80 days) the displayed file-name changes: This
happens within the TC-FTP-access only. All other access-methods (MS-FTP;
Novell-NetStorage; NCP - Windows-Explorer) are showing the name correctly.
e.g.
access over NCP, MS-FTP, NetStorage | access over FTP within TC
displayed filename |(after ~80 days) displayed filename
------------------------------------|----------------------------
"2.1 Chapter ONE.pdf" |"Chapter ONE.pdf"
This happens from every PC at the same time, so there have to be some
changement on the NetWare-Server.
Volume compression is disabled (nssmu.nlm)
We have to copy or open and save the file again to get rid of this for
the next ~80 days ...
Any idea?

Thank you - Andrew,
yes, SOPHOS-Anti-Virus is installed, and there is a regularly Backup-Job
also. But both are running weekly ...
Anyway, we have to move the data to a new OS ... (could be a solution
for this ...)
By the way, Symantec-Backup-Exec-Support told me, that restoring the
trustee-rights (from a NetWare-NSS-Volume-Backup) to a OES-NSS-Volume is
not supported ("reason: ... it is another OS!").
Can you recommend a smooth method to move the data from NW to OES?
Kind regards
Oskar
