Hyperlink to pdf appearing as the wrong file name

#1 Post by DPLCVA » 2023-03-13 14:40

Hi all,

My website contains a number of hyperlinks, which when clicked on, open up a corresponding pdf. The hyperlink is opening the correct pdf, however, it is pulling the incorrect file name. In the URL, I can see the correct file name, however, the tab name and name of the file across the the top of the screen are incorrectly labeled. When I try to download the pdf from the page, it downloads with the correct file name. Please see attached file.

I have attempted to delete and reload the pdf attachment but this has not solved the problem. Has anyone also experiences this and/or had success in fixing it?

This has nothing to do with FileZilla.

How so? FileZilla is where the pdfs are loaded and labeled so it would seem that Filezilla is where things are going wrong.

FileZilla is merely the tool you transfer files with. It is entirely content-agnostic.

What would you recommend that I do?

What the browser loads and what files are delivered is controlled by the HTML code in the website -- which has nothing to do with FileZilla.

FileZilla makes NO alterations to files it uploads or downloads (as botg said - it simply provides the transport).
