I am using a recent version of Samba mounted through GVFS. If I configure with the option "mangled names" unspecified, I am able to access everything fine, but files with ':' or '?' get mangled to the point of unusability. If I specify "mangled names = no", I see everything fine with the reserved characters displayed properly, but I am unable to list or access the contents of directories with such names, and even most top-level files with such names resist most kinds of manipulation.
I am not interested in making my file names usable on Windows. NFS is too clunky and difficult to secure. FTP-based solutions do not allow the quick random-access I require. Samba seems to be the only networking system available that does what I need. How do I alter Samba's configuration to allow it to manipulate files with the normal Unix naming rules? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
