Problem Description: Putting a hyphen into a connection name using cfftp action="listDir" (I am doing so in cfscript specifically) causes the query variable that should be returned to not exist. Example:

cfftp(action="listDir", attributeCollection=ftpSettings, name="myfiles");
return myfiles;

The above will throw the error that myfiles does not exist.

Steps to Reproduce: Insert a hyphen character into the connection name of a cfftp listDir call, then reference the named query variable.

Actual Result: Named query variable does not exist.

Expected Result: If hyphens are not allowed, an error saying so. Or, the variable should exist.

Any Workarounds: Don't use a hyphen

Comments:

The fix made will now throw the exception pointing out the valid characters to use, if connection name includes a hyphen. The fix will be available in the upcoming updates. Thanks!
