#3 Illegal character related crashes.
> or < are legal characters for folders or filenames on
a mac, but aren't on a PC, and cause WiPy to apparently
crash when it tries to download the files/folders.
Encountered when using folder downloads and
encountering folders with a < and > in it.
Let me know what futher information is needed.

That's definitely a bug. Any preferred way to handle it
(remove the characters, translate them so > becomes >)?
You should be able to get around this on a path by path
basis by clicking on RPC and putting in:
wire.download(r'/original/path/with<>', r'C:\new\path\without')
However, if subpaths have bad characters, it will fail when
it tries to download them.

The folders in question were indeed subfolders, and it took
me a few minutes to catch on what was happening. And
whether it drop the character, replace it equiv or some
other character (-), its up to you, what ever you feel works
best.
