Renaming folders to something containing "&"

[Loy]

With file explorer, I have no issues with creating a new folder with a string that contains a "&". The folder is created as expected.

But when I rename an existing folder to a string that contains a "&", the system will replace the "&" and "&". This behaviour is shown in the fileexplorer demo :

Hello,

In RadFileExplore, there are some sets of symbols, that are considered restricted.

Please check out the dedicated article to find more about such scenarios and how to handle them:

• Restricted Symbols

Even if you replace and update the & entity with & on the client, it will be replaced on the server back with & because the ampersand (&) is a special URL character which is causing the path to be invalid. Please take a look at the following blog post describing the received error in details:
