Here is the mail from TJ Saunders :

OK.  Using my regex-testing tool:

  http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/contrib/regex.html

I was able to find a pattern which may work for you:

  PathAllowFilter "^[][a-zA-Z0-9_\\.\\$()-]+$|^New folder$"

The man page for "regex" helped to supply a little more information:

       To  include  a  literal `]' in the list, make it the first
       character (following a possible `^').  To include  a  lit-
       eral `-', make it the first or last character, or the sec-
       ond endpoint of a range.  To use  a  literal  `-'  as  the
       first  endpoint of a range, enclose it in `[.' and `.]' to
       make it a collating element (see below).  With the  excep-
       tion  of  these  and some combinations using `[' (see next
       paragraphs), all other special characters, including  `\',
       lose  their  special significance within a bracket expres-
       sion.

Hence why I'm hoping that the addition of "][" to your bracket expression,
rather than "[]", may work.

Cheers,
TJ
