Hi
I am running Samba v3.0.20-2 on Redhat Linux.
to get right to the point:
THE PROBLEM:
I am using mount with type=smbfs to mount a WIndows XP share. The
share has filenames with special chars (the Registered symbol (r)) .
This filename appears in Linux directory listings with a "r" in place
of the (r) char. If I try to access the file, I get a "File not found".
i.e.
"ls -l" shows filename "XXXr.url"
but if I try "cat XXXr.url" I get the msg "XXXr.url no such file or
directory"
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
I have tried setting the dos charset and unix charset both to UTF-8
with no results, likewise to the DOS default CP850
Anyone know how to address this? It would be an acceptable solution
to substitute chars in the filename, I just need to be able to access/
copy it.
Thanks
