Smbclient and W2K files with accents

[Pierre-Yves BONNETAIN]

   Hello you all,

   Well... I'm at a loss with smbclient so I'm asking what may be a quite
common question, but I did not find anything relevant in the documentation.

   I'm using Samba 2.2.1a on a Linux box, to access shares on W2000 systems and
for those W2K systems to access some directories on the Samba server. And I run
into troubles with (french) accented file or dir names.

   When working from W2K to the Samba server, I have no problems. If I have a
file named Eléphant.txt on my Samba server, I can see/read/modify it from the
W2K system. Fine.

   But when using smbclient to access some W2K shares, I do properly _see_
accented filenames (\\w2000\Documents\Pierre-Yves\Modèles, for example) but
whenever I try to go into such a directory or to get a file, I get a Bad Path
or a Bad File error. This only happens when there is an accent in the file or
dir name. Non-accented stuff is properly dealed with :

   Obviously, I must be doing stg wrong. First time in my life I see stg
working on Windows and not on Linux !
   Here is my smb.conf file :

-------------------
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2001/10/02 12:04:35

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = B-A
        server string = Samba 2.2.1a
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        username map = /usr/local/samba/private/usermap.txt
        log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
        max log size = 500
	client code page = 850
        character set = ISO8859-1
        dns proxy = No
        hosts allow = 192.168.1.

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /usr/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No
-------------------

   Any hints will be appreciated !
