# UploadSettings.UrlEncodeFilenames Property HTML5/Flash Uploader ASP.NET

Supported technologies: ![HTML 5](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/icons/html5.png)
 
Specifies whether to apply URL encoding to filenames uploaded by the uploader.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.ImageUploaderFlash](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/FH_N_Aurigma_ImageUploaderFlash.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.ImageUploaderFlash (in Aurigma.ImageUploaderFlash.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```csharp
public bool UrlEncodeFilenames { get; set; }
```
 
### Property Value
 
Type: [System..Boolean](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a28wyd50)
 
If `true`, the uploader will URL-encode filenames in the POST request (including `SourceName_N` variable). After you decode them, you will get a correct UTF-8 string.
 
Default value is **false**.
 
## Remarks
  
This property may be helpful if your server incorrectly accepts files with non-ASCII names. In this case, just set it to `true` and use URL decoding when reading those file names from the request.
 
When this property is `true`, the uploader sends the **FilenamesUrlEncoded** POST field set to `true`. This way you can add the code to your server side script which determines if the filenames require pre-processing (URL decoding).
