Yes, it is. So was the prior version. I understand where the spaces can
be a problem for some clients whose filenames can't have spaces in them,
but this seems to be a different twist on a similar issue. I failed to
mention in my original post that I understand that the %2E syntax is a hex representation of the the ASCII '.' character. Interestingly, the ASCII
' ' (space, %20) character does not come through similarly encoded.
Thanks for the suggestion. If push comes to shove, I will try de-installing
and re-installing Xitami in a root directory. Incidently, this raises one
other thing; Xitami is installed on my D: drive, not the C: (boot) drive.
Anyone know whether this could be a problem? Again, this is the same setup
as the previous version, which worked fine.
