EFT Server, the Web Transfer Client, and the HTML Listing and Upload Form follow the standard Windows naming conventions, with a few exceptions (such as no support for Unicode characters).
For example:
You can name files using almost any character for a
name, except for the following reserved characters:
< > : " / \ | ? *
The maximum length for a path is 255 characters. This limitation includes the drive letter, colon, backslash, directories, subdirectories, filename, and extension.
Characters that are valid for naming files, folders, or shortcuts include any combination of letters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9), plus the following special characters. (Unicode characters are not supported.)
