Create a Download Link for filenames with Spaces

G'day. I have a piece of ASP code that displays a list of filenames from an
SQL DB that a user uploads so other uses can download them. I do this all
with HTTP because the user may be in a hotel that blocks FTP.

All works exactly as expected except when a filename has a SPACE in it. For
example: "new document.doc". Server.URLEncode won't fix it up becuase it
returns the following result:
"http:/www.bob.com/filedownloads/admin/New+Microsoft+Word+Document%2Edoc".
If I change the %2E to a PERIOD, then Word attempts to open the docuemtn.

This obviously won't work

Can one do this, and if so how??? Or does one have to use filennames without
spaces or do I have to convert the filename to 8.3???

Thanks.

It looks like you are urlencoding only part of the url string, otherwise the slashes, colon, etc would be converted to a hex string too.

The filename part looks correct, but there are a couple errors in the string you posted, like the final trailing period, the http:/ with only one slash

Doug. The entore URL is correct. The missing "/" was a type, while the final PERIOD simply ends the sentence. BTW, I have it working now. It was a Windows Setting.

TX to all...

Just out of curiosity, what windows setting did you have to change?
