Subject: [thelist] cross-platform file names


> When naming files for the Web we have always had a policy of only using
> alphanumeric characters,underscores and hyphens. This is to avoid

> Linux/Unix don't allow the 'space' character in file names). This is now
> being challenged by a young upstart Web master who likes spaces in his
> filenames particularly for files that are going to be downloaded onto
> people's desktops.
