Re: Download from file manager?

[Bill P. <bp...@wi...>]

Stephen,

That is normal. I would not call that a webmin bug at all.
What it is doing is converting all non-alpha-numeric characters
into their ASCII equivelents. 

When you go to the Save As, simply change the save name back 
into the original file name and click ok. Only the name is 
converted in this process. The file remains unaltered.
