Directory/filename Length Specifications

[Oso_Grizzly]

I belive that many of the problems I am experiencing right now with my website arise from probable conflict in nameing the files or directories. My first error was that I used the letter ñ and the system did not recognized it.

 

Are there any specifications or max. length that files must comply to be uploaded properly into the server ?

 

Thanks

Hi Oso.

 

Well, theoretically, there shouldn't be such problems on the web but unfortunately, due to technical details I won't discuss here, there are

 

So what do we do to keep ourselves safe? Just use regular latin letters and numbers for everything, meaning you shouldn't use spaces or characters like ç, ã, ú, etc...

 

Try using a simple 'n' instead of 'ñ' and see how it goes.

Hope this helps
