## Supported Characters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When uploading an artifact, the inputted `name` parameter along with the files specified in `files` cannot contain any of the following characters. They will be rejected by the server if attempted to be sent over and the upload will fail. These characters are not allowed due to limitations and restrictions with certain file systems such as NTFS. To maintain platform-agnostic behavior, all characters that are not supported by an individual filesystem/platform will not be supported on all filesystems/platforms.

## Compression? ZIP? How is my artifact stored?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When creating an Artifact, the files are dynamically compressed and streamed into a ZIP archive. Since they are stored in a ZIP, they can be compressed by Zlib in varying levels.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The value can range from 0 to 9:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 0: No compression
|
||
|
|
- 1: Best speed
|
||
|
|
- 6: Default compression (same as GNU Gzip)
|
||
|
|
- 9: Best compression
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Higher levels will result in better compression, but will take longer to complete.
|
||
|
|
For large files that are not easily compressed, a value of 0 is recommended for significantly faster uploads.
