Hi,

I'm using FileMan v 1.256. I would like to view a file with filenames '&', for example, a&b.txt. I noticed that there is a function in /GT/FileMan/Commands.pm called _safe_file, it always check the filename. I already change that line from
return -1 if ($self->{cfg}->{filename_check} and $file !~ m,^([-\w/. ]+)$,);
to
return -1 if ($self->{cfg}->{filename_check} and $file !~ m,^([&-\w/. ]+)$,);

So that i can upload and delete it. But I don't know what to change for viewing/opening a file w/ '&'.

Thanks

Hi,

There is an option called 'filename_check' in ConfigData.pm. If it's set to '0', then FileMan will allow special characters in file name.

Thank you for you reply. I would like to ask, what do I have to change in order to create/view/delete a directory name with a '&' in it? Because seems like i have to make the changes in the GT/FileMan.pm, GT/FileMan/Commands.pm and some html files. But i'm not sure where do i need to modify.

Thanks!

You don't have to change anything. Just simply set filename_check to 0 within ConfigData.pm, it will affect all commands. ie: you can have a '&' in directory/file name when creating/viewing/deleting.

Thanks for your reply, but i already set all the filename_check = 0 in Commands.pm. And I tried to create a directory w/ a '&', but it said Input value has invalid characters : b&b
any ideas?

I tested it out, and it worked just fine. Are you using version 2.1.1?

No, I'm using FileMan v 1.256.

What do I need to change for FileMan v 1.256?

Thanks

Wallace

This's really old version, and it's required a lot of changes to make it works. Why don't you upgrade it to version 2.xx which has more features and much better look?
