rdscholar Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have just recently discovered a fatal flaw in Fiverr’s file uploading and downloading systems, that is the system would automatically alter the file names during the transfer process. What I already find out is whenever the file name contains a plus sign “+”, it would be altered into an underscore sign “_” for example, a pdf file name asSingapore_100939438_Swedish_Geetha YD_OH+.pdfAfter you upload via Fiverr, it was altered into:Singapore_100939438_Swedish_Geetha YD_OH_.pdfThe other one is whenever, the file name contains a period (i.e. a dot “.”) in the middle of the file names, the sign would be removed automatically, For example:170830110250_9.13_FIN.pdfthe system drop the dot between 9 and 13Change it to:"170830110250_913_FIN.pdfThis create a nuisance since our client require exact correct file name for their submission and their server will reject any tiny change in the file names.I am sure for many video or audio files as well as various format files, people would use anyway to name their file in the way that convenient to them, and Fiverr’s system should totally respect that and not imposing on the change automatically like this.I hope they can serious look into this problem and get it fixed ASAP. For now, since we have found out this problem, we have to use zip file to send back and forth in order to protect the integrity of the file names!Hope someone from Fiverr technical team contact me about this and update me when it is resolved.Garry GuanFiverr username: Rdscholar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdscholar Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 As in my original post, I already know that solution. But I should not have to do that. Fiverr should have the problem corrected in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
