I know that it is best to not use spaces between file and folder names. However, this site was built almost 2.5 years ago with gaps between folder names and all worked very well, until… I had to make some recent additions and structural changes.
Now I’m getting errors that previously were not thrown, and the saved file uploads fail. The process adds the %20 (space), and of course there is no such directory structure on the remote. So the upload to the server fails.
However, I can execute a ‘Publish’ and there are no problems with the uploads to these same folders. The Publish process just takes longer… 
I’m not sure if this is an intentional change, or if it is a small ‘bug’ … I thought I would ask before I track down the large number of folder name changes.
If it is not a bug, and will be the law of the land with the new editor, I will begin to close up the gaps.
Until then, I’ll await until I get an answer.
