New folders and files with whitespace at the end of the filename cannot get synced to Windows #11666
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create new text file or new folder via web interface with one or more spaces at the end of the name. For example "My new folder " or "whatever.txt "
Expected behaviour
Whitespace at the end of the filename should be truncated when new file or folder is created via web interface.
Actual behaviour
Whitespace at the end of the filename doesn't get truncated. Result is, such file or folder doesn't get synced to Windows clients, because Windows doesn't allow filenames with whitespace at the end, while Linux does. If you create a file or folder on Windows with whitespace at the end, it gets automatically truncated.
This is a long time bug, and apparently still around from the ownCloud days. I have clients who create new folders via web interface, and for some unexplicable reason add another space at the end of the new folder name. Such folders and their contents don't get synced to Windows via Sync client, until I manually rename them on the Linux server.
