Is there any list of characters which RTC does not support ?

Components do not typically get loaded as a folder so it is unlikely that characters in a component name will cause problems. Having said that, it seems reasonable for an organization to have standards for how to name their components, folders and files.

Is there any list of characters which RTC dev team does not recommend to use ? For example, it seems I can input '\', '/', '@' in the component name.

As for Windows, these characters can not be used as file name.

\ / : * ? " < > |

But I can input these as component name. :)

I think the following will apply (probably).

- Do not recommend to use when target file system does not support.

Is this good idea to start with to determine naming convention ?

I've met with a strange situation, where the user uploaded some folders with names including special characters in RTC v2.0.0.2 web client(example: "01: Folder1"), when we try to create repository workspace, and load files into windows, these folders are giving errors. Since we cannot rename folders in RTC web client, we are not seeing any choice other than abandoning the whole folder structure. Is there any work around to rename these folders?

You may be able to load the folder on Linux. However, if you don't have access to a Linux box, you may need to delete the folder and recreate the folders and files.
