S3Connector - Download translates special characters to underscore

HI there,

I'm using S3Connector to download files from a bucket to a folder location defined in the "Download as File" parameter. These files may have special characters in the filename, such as: "%", "(" and ")" and they get converted to "_".

Example: "1110716% - (Copy).dwg" --> "1110716_ - _Copy_.dwg"

 

Is there some way to handle these characters?

Or if there's a set list of characters that the transformer is treating these characters this way so I can set up rules down the pipeline to treat them as underscores?

 

This is happening on FME Desktop and Server: 2020.2, Build 20787

 

Thank you,

Janet

I've applied a workaround for this, which is to convert/remove these special characters in the file before they get sent to S3 and FME. I'll leave this post on in case there's a better resolution.
