What's in a filename?
On your computer a file name may be allowed to have blank spaces or characters other than numbers and letters. But files intended for the Web must have names that don't confuse the Web Server's file system, the viewer's file system, or any browsers.
Here are some suggestions that will help alleviate problems:
Use
a short name and a three-letter file extension separated by
a period, i.e. pic.jpg
Use
only lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9) in the
name
Use
only one period (.) in the filename, the one before the
extension
Use
a filename with less than 27 characters
Never
begin a filename with a number
