I uploaded a file to the forum, but the filename will be truncated automatically. Is there any rule to restrict the lenth of the filename? If it is, how can we keep the extension of the file, and truncate from the beginning. ie. the original name is 'abcde.zip', new file is 'de.zip' not 'abcde.'

thanks

thanks. I found the problem is caused by aspsmartupload doesn't support chinese and other 2-byte characters. I try to set the .codepage to "utf-8" but doesn't work. Is there any way to correct it?
