Re: [Samba] filename problem

[Mirek Hankus]

Problem is that Windows creates such file automatically. Steps to create such file.

1. mount your home directory under h:
2. open "my computer" and drag h: drive  to your desktop.
3. now you have file with " character, which can be copied to samba, but not from samba to windows.

  I got problem with filenames. Some info on my configuration
	Samba 2.2.6
	client code page=852
	character set=ISO8859-2


  When serving files with " character, example:

	user on "server" (H).lnk


(standard link to home drive). Windows 2000 sees something
like

	user~x%

It is even worse when such file is located in user profile, 
which makes 
it impossible to save user profile to samba server.
Coping is possible only from windows to samba (filename is preserved) 
but coping back fails besause windows see different filename.
