Its a Windows quirk. Because viewing hidden files is enabled on my PC anytime I make something on my PC hidden files are included. You can ignore those files they are simply CD art files (the ones Media Player downloads)

Thanks, I assumed that was the reason but worth bringing it up in case others here downloading it have the same FTP problem and can't find them.
As said Filezilla displays such hidden files by default but other FTP Clients may not.

It must be something with the "newer" versions of Filezilla. I havent updated mine in a year or 2 and havent had that issue in the past with hidden files. But I cant say that for this specifically since I dont use a FTP program anymore and have my XBOX Homegrouped with my laptop and PC and just copy and paste everything. Seems much easier and faster (10+MB/s transfer)

I don't think it was a problem with it being hidden (by default Windows). As said Filezilla displays all files in any folder including the hidden ones. Other programs, like 7Zip will also show them before extraction.
The trouble is the additional long ID string attached to those particular image files (highlighted in red below).
Its the Xbox that is rejecting the transfer both when using UnleashX and XBMC. Usually when you use the latter it will deal with such matters (parse?) but not in this case. That ID string simply exceeds the Xbox/FATX file name character limit (42?).
The AlbumArtSmall.jpg and Folder.jpg, (highlighted in green below) both shown as "HS" (Hidden System files) in attributes too FTPed without any trouble.

I get what youre saying it just never used to do that. When I used Filezilla it always skipped the hidden stuff like event.file, and thumbs.db and album art xyz123abc......... etc. I would assume there would be a way to shut it off in Filezilla since normally people wouldnt want to be copying hidden files.
