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 El?phant.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\Mod?les, 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 :
