Failed to upload files, which contain special symbols or are written in Russian language (and it is possible on others too)

This is actually Joomla limitation/restriction, not allowing anything else than a-z (+ numbers etc) in the filenames. All the other letters will be stripped out leaving only extension -> "zip" has no file extension.

I could disable turning filenames safe, but that would easily enable security holes, as there are UTF8 letters that are interpreted in different ways in different servers.

Thanks for the detailed answer. Certainly security is the most important.

what does the text mean in english ? why not just use that as the filename or simply call is attachment123.zip

Question to the dev team: Could we create a random file name for those?

yes, for users it should be that they can upload a file named anything and it gets 'renamed' on the fly to something accepable and is uploaded without them ever realising.

Unfortunately renaming files means that we need to have extra logic to fetch the files (so that user will see the original filename after upload). But that would allow us to count downloads etc..

K1.7+ feature that is.
