Hi. I need to connect to shares in a WinXP machine, which have
accentuated characters and spaces in its name. I'm using Samba 3.0.0rc2
in MacOS 10.3, and when I use the `connect to server' option (for
instance, to smb://xpmachine/Trabajos en realización), I get the login
window, but after introducing my login name and passw. I obtain a -43
error (operation not complete because some items are missing). In fact,
it tries to connect substituting the spaces and accents by %20 and
%C3%B3 codes (I though the code for ó was another one), but obviously it
doesn't work.
I have no problems with other shares having only ASCII characters in the
name.
I think everything is well configured, but I'm not a Samba expert. I've
read that Samba 3 uses unicode and can deal with different codepages at
once, so I don't know what's happening here.
By the way, I've tried with smbclient in the CLI, but I cannot introduce
non-ASCII characters there, and substituting with codes doesn't work.
Thank you in advance.
Felipe
