I found a couple issues with a file.
I uploaded a file with the name:
Wise Choices #1.doc
And had the following issues:
1. Links to the file didn't work properly (links created through the link UI in page creation)
2. I can't delete the file (error is No real file given)
Thanks for a great product!

Here I am a developer and I fail to provide enough info.
I noticed this is for official releases, so I probably posted in the wrong place.
this is with 1.0-beta6
I uploaded the file using the upload using the file manager.

Spaces and special characters in file names : a really "unwise choice" and a bad MS Windows habit you'll need to quit.
This is not a valid file name on most operating systems and certainly not on the Web. You cannot use special characters or spaces in URLs. The reference to your file name, once properly URL encoded, becomes :
Wise%20Choices%20%231.doc That's the name you need to use in your links and to access your file.
%20 = space
%23 = #

You could avoid all this by changing you naming convention : Wise_Choices-no1.doc
