Filenames on the web are different than those on the desktop. Empty spaces and strange characters doesn’t belong to web space. Enter UploadPlus: you can set your rules and clean your files’ name while they upload. Three basic rules:
<ul>
<li>keep only alphanumeric [A-Za-z] and digits, spaces and strange characters stripped out;</li>
<li>convert spaces and strange characters into dashes (-)</li>
<li>convert spaces and strange characters in underscores (_)</li>
</ul>
You can apply website-based or date-based prefix, even a custom prefix. Lowercase or Uppercase? Your choice! 
Some default prefix:
<ul>
<li>time/date based timestamps via PHP date()</li>
<li>blog name/slug</li>
<li>random</li>
<li>and many more!</li>
</ul>
UploadPlus can also transliterate filenames (text conversion from a non-latin script to raw latin characters). 
You can preview settings in the media settings page without uploading files.

UploadPlus : File Name Cleaner

Clean file names and enhance security while uploading.

Ian Dunn

By default WordPress doesn’t overwrite an existing file if you upload a new one with the same name and directory. Instead, it appends a number to the end of the filename in order to make it unique, e.g., <code>filename.jpg</code> becomes <code>filename1.jpg</code>.
That isn’t always the desired behavior, so this plugin makes it so that any files uploaded will automatically overwrite existing files in the same folder, rather than creating a second file with a unique name. It will not overwrite files in other folders.
After activating the plugin, you won’t need to do anything else, it’ll start working automatically. If you run into problems, please check the FAQ and existing support forum posts before opening a new support request.

Overwrite Uploads

Overwrites files with the same name and folder when uploading, instead of storing multiple copies with unique filenames.
