Select to convert spaces in filenames to underscores in files sent to the host. If your host does not support spaces in filenames, this prevents the host from modifying the filename or rejecting the transfer.
Select to convert underscores in filenames to spaces in files received from the host.
By selecting this option in conjunction with the option, you satisfy the conventions of both the PC and the host, yet maintain the appearance of an unchanged file name: The name change occurs, but is transparent to both the PC and the host.
Select to receive host files in the DOS 8.3 filename format.

Select how you want filenames conforming to the DOS 8.3 file naming convention to display under in the dialog box.
