Still, it doesn't work perfectly well for me.
Windows machine is a 2003, German version. It mostly has filenames in
German, so setting ClientCharset to cp1252 works well for German characters.
There are also filenames written for example in Russian or Greek, or
some other languages not covered by "cp1252".
In such cases, I get info that the "file has vanished", which is not
really true.
Is there a setting that will cover all languages?
The files in question can be read just fine on the Windows 2003 server.
Below, an example log showing problems with other languages:
Remote[2]: file has vanished:
"ygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/u:/Archiv/new/Profiles/user1/Recent/????????
(c)_ ?????????? ? ?????????_ ???????? ?????????_ 123 ?????_ ???????
?????? ????_ ??????? ??????????_ ??????????? ?????? ? ????????.lnk" (in
uDrive)
Remote[2]: file has vanished:
"ygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/u:/Freigaben/mig/Homes/user2/my/µet?f?as?
pt????? a?a??t???? ?a?µ?????a?-d?????µ???.doc" (in uDrive)
