The file being uploaded has one or more special characters (e.g. "#" or "&") in the filename. These special characters are valid in a windows filename but not in eB because they may cause problems in other eB functionalities/operations.
Avoid using the following characters, which are forbidden in URL paths, in the filenames of any files that will be uploaded to eB.
" * / : ? | < > & # ..
From V15 onwards, a proper error message will display telling users the above special characters cannot be used.
