I'm sure others will disagree, but since you're in for the penny, why not
have FTPSERVE also perform the '_' for '-' substitution also?  That want
XYZ-L stores its logs in XYZ_L, but if I FTP into UBVM, I can type
CD XYZ-L, and FTPSERVE gets the info from XYZ_L instead?  While I can
understand the arguments against it, it does have the least astonishment
factor for novice users.
