Hello,
I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me how to copy a file from a
ntfs partition with a colon in its name. This character is used to get
files attributes, and I can't find a way to avoid it.
I don't have any NTFS stuff mounted on NetBSD, but I tried this on my
laptop running Linux (Dual-boots Win 10, windows partition is mounted on
/windows):
Use 'ls -li' to get the inode of the file (first column)
Then use 'find . -maxdepth 1 -inum $inode -exec cp {}
/tmp/new_filename.ext \;'
You can also use this to rename or remove files with chars that aren't
supposed to exist in filenames or aren't otherwise easily typeable.
