I said sometimes because, well, *some* files HAVE slipped through with spaces. BUT then, on another upload, RW blocks and gives a certain code (I believe 553) that I've learned means "go check file names for spaces, check for unallowed file types" But after another Lister was doing self "tests" of whether spaces and MiXedCase would upload, I looked carefully at my own freepages and yes, indeed, *some* files did slip through *sometimes* with a space, MiXedCase, and on one file it let a zip file through. Although this is only my observation, I find more *.txt files with a space get through than spaces in *.htm / html file names. (Sometimes I put template code or some info in a txt. Usually I delete from MyWebs. But they got back into MyWebs on my PC when I used my External Drive BackUp to reload my PC after I got a new computer-- and when I connected to my website, those txt's uploaded. So those are the main files with spaces in their names that *sometimes* do upload. Other times, RW won't let those same txt ones at all.) Judy
