We have SoftArtisans FileUp Professional, v5, 0, 7, 519 that we've been using for quite some time.
This software works fine for uploads and downloads but recently we've noticed a strange thing happening when a client uses Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.x. The problem is localized to files that come from Unix with a .gz or .tar.gz extension. The original filename is preserved but with three additional characters included.
For example, a file that was uploaded contains the name: P6GTBIATMCH18WB.tar.gz. When a user clicks on this link or filename to download the file the browser's file save-as dialog box appears with this filename in the filename box. If a user is using Internet Explorer the filename is: P6GTBIATMCH18WB[1].tar.gz where the [1] is somehow added to the file name. If using Netscape the original filename is preserved without the extraneous three characters.
I've researched the online help forums and found a reference to something similar where you have to change the attachment attribute to inline as in:
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment ;filename="
to
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename="
This has no impact since the [1] always appears no matter what. I've even parsed the filename on the server to strip off these characters but this has no impact either.
My question to you is this a FileUP software issue or is this a Microsoft issue.
I don't know where to begin.
