Preservation of short and long filenames in Windows 9x with Samba
...r an answer to this question and I have
not found it.
Here's the problem.
As some may know, trying to copy files with xcopy32/explorer on a
Windows machine to another drive or other Windows machine DOES NOT
imply that both long and short filenames will be copied exactly.
eg.
long filename : thisisalongfilename.txt (in Windows)
short filename: THISIS~1.TXT (at the DOS command prompt)
>From what I have seen, if a file is copied in Windows from one drive
to another the nomenclature of both long and short filenames is
preserved as long as complete directories are copied at once. The same
is true if done...
