When downloading files the file name changes name?

When I download files from yahoo email account the file name changes from actual name to securedownlad.doc. Why is this happening and how do I stop it? Is it an email client issue?
Example:
Original file name in email to download is called GeorgiaTechstinks.doc
when downloaded the dl box pops up and file name has changed to securedownload.doc.
I have to go and manually change file name back to GeorgiaTechstinks.doc
any help would be greatly appreciated

  • "Download a copy" shrinks downloaded file name

    I'm using SharePoint Server 2013 with Russian language pack.
    When in a document library, I choose "Download a copy" menu item in ECB on a file, and SharePoint 2013 downloads a file correctly (it can be opened and the file content is OK), but the file name is trimmed on the local hard disk: downloaded
    file name is only a couple of first words long, but in a document library the file name is much longer.
    It happens only on files that have names in Russian (cyrillic characters). Files that consist of English characters are downloaded with correct names as they appear in a SharePoint document library. So, it seems not to be connected to a URL length restrictions.

    Consider opening a PSS case on this. It does sound like a bug.

  • Non US-ASCII characters in download file names

    I am trying to implement a simple file download in a JSP, and trying to get IE, Firefox and Opera to all display and handle non US-ASCII characters in the suggested download file name. Only concerned with Windows platform for now. Here's the code I am currently using:
    String agent = request.getHeader("USER-AGENT");
    if (null != agent && -1 != agent.indexOf("MSIE"))
    String codedfilename = URLEncoder.encode(cfrfilename, "UTF8");
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=" + codedfilename);
    else if (null != agent && -1 != agent.indexOf("Mozilla"))
    String codedfilename = MimeUtility.encodeText(cfrfilename, "UTF8", "B");
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=" + codedfilename);
    else
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=" + cfrfilename);
    }This URL encodes the file name if the browser is IE, MIME encodes it if the browser is Mozilla, and sends plain UTF-8 (the encoding of the JSP) for all other browsers. I get "cfrfilename" from translated properties files, and the string can contain characters from any character set - Chinese, Thai, Korean, etc.
    This code works correctly for IE - the file name is displayed correctly in the file Save as dialog, and it is saved correctly on disk, no matter which character set is used.
    For Firefox, the file name is displayed correctly in the file Save as dialog, but it is only saved correctly to disk if the file name is in a character set supported by the system locale. This seems to be a known Firefox bug (not fully using the Windows Unicode APIs), so nothing I can do about that.
    Nothing seems to work for Opera, however - I cannot get the file name to display correctly in the file Save as dialog, no matter which method I use (I have tried URL encoding and MIME encoding in addition to the plain UTF-8).
    Has anybody implemented something similar that works for at least these 3 browsers?

    I tested your code today,
                         dialog           save           open
    Firefox 1.5          OK                 OK               OK
    IE 6.0                OK                 OK                NGdailog: filename show in download popup dialog
    save: save to disk from dialog
    open: open directly from dailog

  • Is it possible to get an event notificati​on when a file is changed ?

    Dear,
    I have to do something on a file or folder when this is changed from outside the program. I can write a loop and look regularly to the change date. However to avoid unnecessary CPU processing, I would like to be notified when a file is changed. Can this be done by events in LabVIEW ?
    Thanks in advance for your reaction.
    Best regards,

    LabVIEW
    has not a build in disk event handler. On Windows I would call the
    Windows API functions FindFirstChangeNotification together with the
    according event handling APIs. Or maybe since LabVIEW does not run on
    9x systems anyhow anymore use ReadDirectoryChangesW instead.
    Enclosed is a simple example using FindFirstChangeNotification. It is
    all enclosed in one VI using an internal shift register. This limits
    the function to be used for on change notification at the same time
    only. In order to make it deal with multiple change notifications one
    would have to change quite a bit of the VI, possibly taking out the
    create, retrigger and close operation into individual VIs passing an
    uInt32 between them for the change notification handle.

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • Change of PO Download File Name from SUSDOC.zip

    Hello All,
    In SRM-SUS when downloading the files, I want to change the name from SUSDOC.zip to the PO number.zip.
    The BADI BBP_SUS_DOWNLD_FILES can be used to change the name of the files inside the SUSDOC.ZIP file(I guess)
    Any idea to do the name change for the zip file?
    I will award the points once answered.
    Thank you.
    Palaniappan

    Are you trying to (a) change the file name but continue to use the same file or (b) make a copy of the original file and change the name of the new file?
    In Adobe Reader for iOS 11.3.0 (the latest version as of May 24, 2014),
    Go to the Reader home screen.
    Tap Documents in the left pane.
    Tap Edit in the upper right corner.
    Select the file that you want to (a) rename or (b) duplicate.
    Tap (a) the Rename icon

  • The period is missing between download file name and extension

    I thought maybe this was just a problem with a couple sites where I was downloading files but now it seems to be happening with all of them. For example... when downloading my statement it downloads as statementpdf when is use to download as statement.pdf
    It is getting very frustrating and I'm starting to think it is something that is happening in Firefox as it is happening in about 6 or 7 sites that I download from monthly. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm using the most current version of Firefox.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

  • Web gallery download file name

    I noticed when I renumber photos in Aperture and upload them to a web gallery the number stays the same until I download the photo. When the photo is downloaded the name reverts to the original file name. Since these are clients I don't want them to see the original file names but rather the number I assigned in Aperture.
    I guess the other question could simply be: How do I permanently change the photo name after I import it into Aperture?
    Thanks,
    Jeffrey

    I have not used the mobile me service so not to sure of how the gallery service handles files, someone else on this forum may, it would also be worth checking out the mobile me gallery forums

  • "pop up download" File name -72890ad-26

    Recently i was on a site called tvduck.com and ever since i've been getting pop up downloads. they will show up in my downloads window but of course i wouldn't open them.says they were a download from tvduck.Been on this site before without issues.
    File name is 72890- ( the last numbers change ) the first one was 72890-1, then 72890-2 and so on. Now im up to 26!! First the icon on the left hand side was a firefox icon. I never use firefox so i tried throwing it in the trash. The next time the pop up download showed up, it says requested application cannot be used because it is in the trash. and now the icon on the left is a safari one. When on tvduck the mackeeper ad pops up, i always press cancel and close it off. i heard that mackeeper is nothing but trouble, maybe that has something to do with it. perhaps i pressed something differently without noticing.
    PLZ HELP!!   It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellow Mac-ers!

    ok i just did what you said, i'll let you know how it works out.
    meanwhile i tried opening the file ( curiousity killed the cat ) It directed me to a window that says
    "Have you tried smowtion?
    create an account and try a new alternative to monetize your website!"
    and there's a place to click "create account"
    I am not planning on creating account. just wondering if you have heard of this before? "smowtion"  what does it mean by monetize? it's been 5 or 10 mins now and i havent had that "pop up download" yet! so i just may be in the clear .
    Thanks for the help so far rkauf ! *fingers crossed*

  • Problem using af:inputfile when only file name is given without path.URGENT

    Hai Friends,
    I am using input file type and <h:commandLink to upload a file. But when I type only the file name without the path like(hello.jpg) and try to submit then a javascript error occured "Access is denied". But my requirement is when i type without the path, that is only the file name i need to do some validations, like appending a global path with this file name and upload the file... the following is the code am having...
    <af:form id="address" usesUpload="true" >
    <af:inputFile id="id" value="#{BKb.batchFile}"/>
    <h:commandLink action="#{.uploadFile}">
    <h:outputText value="Upload" styleClass="buttonNoDecoration"/>
    </h:commandLink>
    <h:commandLink action="#{BKb.clearFile}">
    </h:commandLink>
    </af:form>
    can u help me in this issue...
    Thanks in advance,
    Ciya

    I figured out the problem, and it was caused by JHeadstart. I placed a default display value in JHeadstart for the download link. This caused a default values bean to be created by jheadstart and that bean was what was causing my problem. The download link had a display value, but not a valid path. I removed the default value, re-generated the screen and it is totally fixed. I have pretty much decided that it is never a good idea to use a default value in Jheadstart.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Strange characters in downloaded file names

    Everytime I download a file that has a space or some kind of accent in it's name, I get some bizarre characters. For instance I get a %20% instead of every space in the file name...
    I guess it's an encoding problem but I haven't been able to find what the cause of the problem is or how to fix it. I've tried changing the default encoding in the Preference but doesn't change anything. I also tried to change the Language in the International System Preference panel, with no results.
    I've had this problem forever, but it's really frustrating to get this with what is supposed to be the most advanced operating system in the world. I've been bragging to my PC friends (well, they're not really friends, more like acquaintances) since 1984 about having no problems with accents, spaces, etc. in file names... and now...
    Please help.

    Everytime I download a file that has a space or some
    kind of accent in it's name, I get some bizarre
    characters. For instance I get a %20% instead of
    every space in the file name...
    It's not an encoding or language problem. Spaces are not allowed in urls, they must be replaced by %20, which is the escaped Unicode value for that character. Many servers do not accept spaces in the names of uploaded files, so the people uploading them delete spaces or replace them by underscores. But some servers do accept spaces in uploads and then replace them by %20. The same goes for accented characters.
    I don't think that there is anything unusual about what you are seeing, or that there is anything you can do about it.

  • Safari adding .hqx to downloaded file name

    I am on an imac with mac os x 10.4.11 and safari 3.0.4. I download a mac cd image file with filename of the form x.y.z.iso. safari downloads it but, mysteriously, adds .hqx to the name so it stores on my mac as x.y.z.iso.hqx. Then it tries to unstuff it and says it is not an encoded file. Of course it is not. It is a volume image. if i rename the downloaded file to x.y.z.iso and double click on it, it brings up the volume just fine on my desktop and I can open it.
    Does anyone know why Safari would decide to add .hqx to a file name on download?

    I think you are in essence describing what is happening, except for how I got there. In our infinite wisdom in taking this original file, we set up the download with some file type info or some such that we figured Mac would like better. It messed it up. that is why I could never figure out why a file destined as a WINDOWS iso image never was mishandled by Safari. it downloaded it and even produced a volume entry when opened, on the mac desktop.
    once we stopped messing with the mac image file and just downloaded it as it came, Safari downloaded it correctly and did not add .hqx to it. thanks.
