'&' in product names

[Designer1]

I have some products / sections that contain ampersands in the title.

Having just attempted a test upload to actinic trial servers, this produced an error and the files were omitted from the final downloads.

Is there a way around this? I would really like to keep them !

I don't see any errors when trying this here. I'm not using Actinic servers, however - just my local Apache, WarFTPd.

I have a customer who gets serious errors by using '&' in the descriptions.

Generally best practice not to use ampersands in URLS (section names) and even product names as some scripts can get confused when they see the "&" and are expecting something different to follow. Best to stick to alphanumericals and the underscore "_" for maximum compatability
