# Special Characters FTP versus HTTP

[slowmassacrelabz24]

I found this out the other day while uploading files to my X10 site and I thought some might find it interesting...

Did you know that you can upload a file with a "#" in the name via FTP:
FOR EXAMPLE: New Sample--Synth Bass C#.wav
...but you can NOT download that file via HTTP? You get an error about the file not being found as I remember.

That was pretty interesting to me.

I actually didn't know that! Can you download the file using the short code rather than # e.g. %20 for a space...I actually don't know it off the top of my head but it might be interesting to try.

Didn't try that one. Not sure.

If you can put the error details, then can I make a statement.
