Recently, I’ve encountered two cases where users cannot upload files successfully, either when editing a post or in the file manager. In both cases, they were able to upload other files successfully but these two files consistently failed. They would use the file picker to select the file and even see the percentage updates in the lower lefthand side of the browser window, but then would get a plain while screen with the text: >Forbidden > >You don’t have permission to access /admin.php on this server
The root cause seemed to be the way these two files were named: they both had an apostrophe in the title. We renamed the files without the apostrophe and they uploaded without issue. I’m not sure if other characters would cause this same behavior also. For now I have advised these users to just rename the files if they see this issue again, but I was wondering if there was a way to fix this in ExpressionEngine. Even if there was a way to throw a more helpful error message would be useful.
