Summary

This documentation describes which characters are allowed when uploading a file to the downloads section of the repository

Solution

Currently, the following character sets are generally safe for use in key names. In case another character (such as '!$=, etc.) is used, those characters will be stripped from the filename

Alphanumeric characters

* 0-9

* a-z

* A-Z

Special characters

* Hyphen (-)

* Underscore (_)

* Period (.)

As an example, if we upload a file with the name of testfile1!$=_ the uploaded file will have the name of testfile1!_
