"\" in ifs file name

I received a group of files from on outside client via ftp that is named
with a back slash in the beginning of the name. I have been trying to
rename the file but the command can't find the file because it converts
the '\' to a directory delimiter. Is there a way to rename this file?

'/ftpgpl/ftp/in/\4file2.txt'
