The Samba server is probably configured to use an 8 bit encoding as
opposed to Unicode. By default jCIFS will use the 'file.encoding' System
property to decode filenames. Therefore jCIFS will only behave properly
with default settings if both the Samba server codepage and the Java VM
file.encoding are compatible. If they are not compatible, you can override
the encoding using the 'jcifs.encoding' property. Such as:
jcifs.encoding=Big5
