Good morning, I cant create with the webinterface or sync files/folders with the client for Android and Linux that contain a comma in its filename / foldername. Is this a bug or a feature?
I run nextcloud 9 and 10. And I do remind me that even in ownCloud there was this issue.
Thanks for answers!

Works fine here using 10.0.1
It works for me too. Are you receiving any errors when you try to create the file? Anything in the nextcloud.log file?
Thank you guys for trying to help!
I have to admit, both of my installations were running 9.0.53, but I have upgraded one of them to 10.0.1. Still I have the issue with filenames when I try to add a comma or try to upload a file with comma.
{ncpath}/data/nextcloud.log doesnt show anything special. But I do get permission errors, when I try create for instance the plain text file “h,c.txt” even when I am logged in as admin?!
Here is my nc-installation - are there any permissions set incorrectly?

Thank you for helping me!
This sounds like there is a server issue in regards to files with commas in them. Perhaps modsecurity, or a custom rule set by your web host. Have you brought this up to your hosting provider?
Can you create a file with a comma in it by any other means outside of Nextcloud?
Hi grouchysysadmin 
When I am logged in on the server via ssh, I have no trouble creating files with a comma. Very strange 
Ok, that rules out a file system issue. I assume you can create files without a comma through the web interface, or synced by the client?
Where does the permission error show? Is it in a web server log, or from Nextcloud directly?
It still sounds like some type of wacky security policy on the part of the host. Perhaps something checking url strings and blocking anything with a comma in it. Have you brought this up to your hosting provider?
Hi @cloudguy
I have the same issue here on NC12 on a raspberry pi running raspbian stretch.
Did you find a solution?
I have hundreds of files with commas inside (e-books managed by calibre: author last name, author first name)
