wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said :

>String result = upload.replaceAll("\\{FileName\\}", fileName);

In the Javadoc for replaceAll  is warns you:
 Note that backslashes (<tt>\</tt>) and dollar signs (<tt>$</tt>) in
the replacement string may cause the results to be different than if
it were  being treated as a literal replacement string; see
     {@link java.util.regex.Matcher#replaceAll Matcher.replaceAll}.
     Use {@link java.util.regex.Matcher#quoteReplacement} to suppress
the special meaning of these characters, if desired.
