SharePoint filenames

We all know MOSS is a royal pain in the gut. Today I am faced with yet another MOSS issue, file names.

Documents stored in a MOSS document library cannot contain the following characters in the filename: \ / : * ? " < > | # { } % ~ &

(1) Is it possible to apply a patch to MOSS to allow the same filenames as are permitted on a standard file system?

(2) If this is not possible is there some kind of adapter that can allow for this?

Thanks

Solution

  • 1) No.

    2) You could possible develop customized upload and download functionality that would encode/decode the special characters and store them in a special way.
