[Samba] AutoCAD file names UPPER CASE on samba
Hi folks, we are experiencing a problem when AutoCAD 2000+ drawing files
are saved on a Samba (2.0.8) file share.
Regardless of what the file is 'saved as', the name is always converted
to all
capitals.
e.g. Drawing1 becomes DRAWING1
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.
Seems strange that it is only AutoCAD files, but I think it is Samba related,
not AutoCAD, since the files save ok on local drives.
We are using a mixture of NT and 2000 clients.
Samba 2.0.8 is running on Solaris 8 servers.
Any help appreciated.
thanks
-peter.

[Samba] AutoCAD file names UPPER CASE on samba
Roberto, thanks for the suggestion, however, no success. I explicitly set all the parameters, but still the filenames are being automatically set to upper case (on the Samba server only). thanks anyway -pete. Hi I sugest to explicit setup all parameters you need. In my case: mangle case = no case sensitive = no default case = lower preserve case = yes short preserve case = no I have no problems with AutoCAD file names with those settings.

Pete Just more 2 things to try, 1 - upgrade your samba, I?m using 2.2.3a in Linux, and also in Solaris 2.4.1 2 - try to add the follow in your smb.conf client code page = 850 character set = iso8859-1 or what is correct to you.

[Samba] AutoCAD file names UPPER CASE on samba
Roberto - thanks for your help - I think I've found a solution. Our servers are currently running Samba 2.0.6 (I think I said 2.0.8 before mistakenly) We have a test server running Samba 2.2.2 with pretty much the same conf file as the others. So I tried saving an AutoCAD file to this machine, and it seems to preserve the case just fine. So in summary, the solution to this problem seems to be to upgrade to at least Samba 2.2.2 . I couldn't find this fix mentioned in any release notes, so I'm not sure at what version this was fixed. -pete. (Martyn thanks also for your assistance) Pete Just more 2 things to try, 1 - upgrade your samba, I?m using 2.2.3a in Linux, and also in Solaris 2.4.1 2 - try to add the follow in your smb.conf client code page = 850 character set = iso8859-1 or what is correct to you.
