Web Hosting - Let the expert host your web site > Just tested adding file with filename beginning with '-' is also not possible I may be wrong but we just cannot add something to the filename before sending to the dll The dll uses the name as we pass it to find the file. So if we add something before passing to the dll, we have to remove it in the DLL how are we going to know when we are allowed to remove anything If I am wrong here, please tell me. The problem can be avoided by passing a directory name in front of the filename. Make the root dir one step less long and add this in front of the filenames.
