You should see (in addition to any other files) with\backslash
I'm not sure if it's a valid character in systems like iso9660 (I think it's very restrictive). I'm also not sure about OLD Mac - new Mac's are just BSD, so the above ought to work there, too.
Furthermore, even if that WEREN'T the case, if FileUpload were being used in a "known" environment, where a developer KNEW the clients would only have IE, that "feature" might be useful - it might be important for a developer to know where on the filesystem the file came from. I know the circumstances would be rare, but there is still the possibility that certain developers would be counting on that.

Could you please give me an example of a valid filename with -\\ character specifying also the filesystem.
