How can I make it so my users can not create folders with spaces in
them? Or allow them to create such folders but rewrite them on the
hardrive with a _ or some other symbol. I have looked threw the wiki
but couldn't find anything about folder name restrictions or folder name
rewriting (rewrite the space to a _).
That is probably in large part due to it being a very bad idea. As the first
break point for that approach: what happens when a user wants to put a real
'_' in a name?
Im having problems with some of the expire and compress scripts when it
hits these types of folders.
You need to fix those scripts. Breaking because a file or directory name has
a space in it is a warning sign about the care taken in a script and it is
almost certain that if those scripts don't work with spaces in names, they
will also break with other technically achievable names. There's a real
chance that the breakage is an exploitable weakness in the scripts, with
spaces in names being the most benign attack.
