Re: [Samba] Rsync with smbfs filesystem and character s like é - updated from version on RSync List

[Nic Colledge]

Unfortunately that didn’t work for me!
 
I think there may be a bug somewhere although its possible that I have
done something wrong somewhere.
 
My reason for saying this is everything works perfectly when the windows
machine is "uploading" the files but not when rsync is copying them.

Hi, I had the same problem 2 days ago,
 
try adding unicode to the smbmount command, like this :
$MOUNT -t smbfs -o
username=XXX,password=XXX,codepage=CP850,iocharset=ISO8859-1,unicode
 
That did the trick for me :)
