[SOLVED] Can't move or copy one video file to NTFS disk

I am running arch on a ssd and i have a second mechanical hard drive formatted in NTFS which i am using as data storage with no problems until today. I can't copy or move a video file from /home to the NTFS hard drive. I tried with other kind of files like text files, folders or pdf and it is ok.

[du@du ~]$ cp /home/du/Videos/11_Calculus\ Removal\ Strokes\:\ Sheet\ Calculus\ \(CC\ enabled\).flv /run/media/du/Data/Universita/Libri-Video/Fundamentals\ of\ periodontal\ instrumentation\ and\ advanced\ root\ instrumentation_video/Video/
cp: can't create regualr file '/run/media/du/Data/Universita/Libri-Video/Fundamentals of periodontal instrumentation and advanced root instrumentation_video/Video/11_Calculus Removal Strokes: Sheet Calculus (CC enabled).flv': Argument not valid 

[du@du ~]$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

Re: [SOLVED] Can't move or copy one video file to NTFS disk

I realized it is related to the ":" in the filename.
