5 File release issue: filename contains space - ID: 524316

Last Update: Comment added ( moorman )

Details:

I've tried to add a file with space in name to my release. It normally
appeared in browser, but when I clicked 'Add files and/or refresh
view', I saw error: Unspecified error, please contact sf.net staff
wia support request. I've clicked Reload, and i've got it in
release, but its length was 0, and if I attempted to download it
later, browser said 'File not found'.

Please re-upload the desired files, replacing spaces with underscores. Including spaces in filenames of files destined for public release is generally not a good idea. There are a large number of OS platforms and filesystems that do not properly handle filenames containing spaces; this presents an inconvenience for those users. While the standard platform for executing your program may support filenames containing spaces, you will find that some users download releases to an intermediate machine before transferring it to its final destination. Should you have further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please re-open this support request and add a comment. Thank you, Jacob Moorman Quality of Service Manager, SourceForge.net
