Also, i can't manage the files properly. like i can't delete or rename them.

I have the same when i connect via ssh on the phone, also in media app and also in my ftp android client, in gallery app, videos with accent are shown as "Oops, cannot display thumbnail"
I use Windows and I had the same problem when I used a laptop card reader for copying files to the microSD card. So I reformatted the card and stopped using the card reader. I think it must be some character encoding issue that occurs only when using the card reader.

Now I copy files via USB using the symbolic link trick, so Windows sees the sdcard folder in Phone Memory. I also tried WinSCP (via USB) but transfers were a lot slower. With WinSCP the entire file system can be accessed.
