The "£" at the beginning of each file prevents tools like WS_FTP from
working because they try to include it as part of the filename, but an
MGET finds them just fine. Anyone know where these "£"s are coming from?

In WRKLNK, I see:

Opt   Object link            Type
      Drive Me Crazy - S >   DSTMF
      Get Skintight - 02 >   DSTMF
      Promo Only Modern  >   DSTMF
      Spend The Night -  >   DSTMF
      Spend The Night -  >   DSTMF
      Spend The Night -  >   DSTMF
      Spend The Night -  >   DSTMF
      Spend The Night -  >   DSTMF
      Spend The Night -  >   DSTMF

I'm trying to move these thousands of MP3s from the 400 to a file
server, but need to be able to retrieve them with FTP and those "£"
symbols are preventing clients from working properly. Any ideas?
