I’m watching the xferlog of ProFTPD in /var/log/proftpd/xferlog and would like to generate valid URLs (the folder is served by Apache) of the logged entries. Spaces in paths get replaced with _ which should be rather %20 url encoded.

Note Filename_with_spaces.mxf is actually Filename with spaces.mxf. How can I configure ProFTPD to log URL encoded file paths?
You currently cannot; ProFTPD does not currently have support for using URL encoded filenames in the
xferlog(5)format. You can request such a feature by opening a ticket at e.g. https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/issues.
