Just exactly what value does infilename have here?
Is it "file - 2005.zip"? or "file"? or what?

Note: Your issue is not cryptographic. You'd get better answers at a newsgroup for C++.

Storing binary data in a string is bad practice enough, but how can you expect the operating system to rename a file to arbitrary binary data? E.g., what do you expect is to do if there's an embedded NUL character?
