similar to: [Fwd: Re: linux -> windows special characters in filenames problems]

I'm running Samba 3.32 on my linux server to share files with the windows computers on the network. My problem is that windows doesn't support some special characters in filenames, like ' : ', that linux has no problem with. So something (not sure if it's Samba or windows) is mangling directory/file names containing that character into 8.3 names, which makes it very difficult

According to R-exts.pdf (page 3): For maximal portability filenames should only contain only ASCII characters not excluded already (that is A-Za-z0-9._!#$%&+,;=@^(){}?[] I have some files with special characters like '[' and '%' e.g. '[.set.R'. I also have some functions that also have those special characters defined in those files exported in NAMESPACE. I use the

Hello, I'm using cygwin and rsync in my windows-equipped laptop to synchronize work and other documents between my file server (Linux RH 9) and laptop. As I'm Finnish, many of the transferred files have special characters ?,?,? (A-umlaut etc) in the filenames. I noticed that when the files are synced from the server to my windows box, the rsync translates the special characters to

I have not been able to get scp(1) to download a file with a newline in its name. I know that scp(1) requires that remote filenames be escaped for the shell, but that leads to protocol errors. I am also unable to get sftp(1) to handle such files. It fails with an ?unterminated quoted argument? error, no matter how I try to quote the newline. Furthermore, the SFTP CLI is not well-suited to

Hello, there are problems syncing files with special charcters in the filename. The special characters in the filename are displayed as a question mark. During synchronization, the rsync tells the file is vanished. Here is the standard output with level 1 verbosity. Higher verbosity levels dont give more informations about the problem. The stat command with this file succeed. file has vanished:

Hi, I'm using samba 3.0.21 on a FC 4 box. I'm connecting to Win XP pro clients. Using smbclient I can get and put files which contain '%' in file names. Using libsmbclient smbc_open this is not possible. I get 'No such file or directory Errno::ENOENT' error. Any ideas how to solve this. I guess it has to do with escaping special characters in smb urls but I

Hello! I've got a Buffalo Linkstation HD-HLAN250. This is a consumer NAS device, which makes the built-in HD accessible via SMB and FTP. On that system, some sort of Linux with some sort of Samba is running. I'm now trying to create filenames with special characters (ie. non-ASCII chars) in it. For example "bl?der name" (means "stupid name"). To get access to the

Greetings! I have been troubleshooting this for over a week, and what follows is a rather long, detailed description. The short description to the problem I have been dealing with is: I can't access files on a windows2000 server from a Linux client when their filenames have some specific special characters such as "?" I can list them, but not copy. The setup: server: Windows 2000

Hello, I have a quite unusual encoding problem (?). I call rsync with the following parameters: /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --delete-excluded \ --rsh="/usr/bin/ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i \ /etc/rsnapshot_ssh_certs/mykey" \ --link-dest=/data/snapshots/hourly.1/folder/mail/ \ rsyncbackup at server:/var/backups/mail/. \

I'm having problems with some Win95 files that have things like copyright characters in the filenames. For example, when I try to copy such a file using the name that shows up in the 'ls' listing, I get "file not found". The funky characters get translated to underscores in the listing. Adding 'character set = iso8859-1' to smb.conf does *not* help. I'm

Hi, I am trying to install a Norwegian teaching application (Mathematics) on an Ubuntu 8.04.1 client installation. As horrible as it may seem, the developers of this app has decided to use Norwegian characters in filenames, which wine obviously isn't very happy with. When installing the app I don't get any error messages about the files, but when I try to start the app itself, it

Hi List, I want to print ? in a lattice graph label. This works in windows, but the linux version has problems - it cannot translate the character. Error is "invalid input in mbcsToLatin1".
