[RESOLVED] Need advice: Spaces in Filenames

[RhinoBull]

A major issue will arise the very first time you FTP any of your files with space in its name – it simply won’t work unless you’re using third party’s library that somehow converts all spaces to something and then converts it back... And after developing and/or supporting FTP related apps for dozen or so years I can tell it's no bogus concern – extremly bad idea.

btw, it's not only file names but folder names as well - entire path shall not have any spaces.

I've Googled this issue 47 different ways to Sunday and I can't find anything "official" that might impress your Sales staff. I guess were I in your place I would make it a point to go on record as saying that using spaces in files names is a bad idea, and list off the possible issues that might be faced.

I'm not sure anything "official" does exist, but every industry professional that I know, or have ever known, believes this to be a very bad idea. If our collective opinions don't matter, then I guess your Sales staff is just going to have to learn the hard way.
