UrlEncode the path to the attachment when you render it. Given you have supplied no code at all we can't tell you how\where to do this.

While the # symbol may be allowed as part of a filename, it is a special character when it comes to a URI, and signifies a resource fragment.
You will need to read up on this and may need to adjust or compensate for this

URL Standard[^]

As you can see # has special meaning in URL - you must look to a way to avoid it...
