On file =Ts.rtf= I get the error =Filename Logo Ts.rtf is not legal for a TWiki attachment.=

rest of message:
<verbatim>
Certain characters are not permitted in filenames, and other filenames are not permitted for security reasons. Your filename matched one of the following regular expressions, so it was rejected:
{UploadFilter}
/^(\.htaccess|.*\.(?i)(?:php[0-9s]?|phtm[l]?|pl|py|cgi))$/
{NameFilter}
/[\s\*?~^%`"'&;|<>\x00-\x1f]/
Rename the file on your local machine and try uploading again.
</verbatim>

Seconded. This makes TWiki:Codev.AutomaticAttachments pointing to my "My Documents" folder quite a lot less useful!

agreed. first, there's no reason spaces can't be used. to handle the more troublesome file extensions will require some apache config so that files under =pub/= aren't executed. -- [[WN]]

But =rtf= couldn't be a troublesome file extension, could it? Perhaps 'just' a bug? -- [[AC]]

with =Filename Logo Ts.rtf=, the problem isn't the =.rtf= extension, it's the spaces. i don't know why spaces aren't allowed, but yes, i'm agreeing this should be fixed. -- [[WN]]

---
Spaces are not allowed in filenames for various reasons stretching back into the dim-and-distant, but mostly because there aren't any tests and it's too late to open that can of worms (I tried, and everything went tits-up).

Deferred.

Spaces mostly work ([[Item822]]) except for edge cases ([[Item957]])

Arthur has sometimes discussed doing a "flash" message system for this kind of messages. Putting energy into a generic solution for the messages are probably the better way to go.

Renamed item to reflect the remainder of the problem. Spaces in filenames and extensions like =rtf= are handled by renaming the file now, but the message could be less intrusive.
