If I can add more to that...
It needs to be accessible from both OS 9.x, 10.x and possibly (maybe) >from Windows.
So, for me Samba seems like the best option since all three can access Samba.
Netatalk seems to have the most elegant solution of file naming but that isn't accessible from Windows unless I have both Netatalk and Samba running on the same machine sharing the same directory. (which I currently do)
I guess you need to see my other post to understand.
The whole "test / sedrs \ sfg" and "test :2f sedrs \ sfg" thing.

They use a mixture of OS 9.x (primary Mac OS they use) and 10.x.
So NFS is probably out of the question.

Hi Mark,
as thought about your problem....
did you try nfs or ssh for this file types,
as your users use mac os 10 this maybe a possible solution,
but i am nearly sure that windows will fail to open it , if your try to catch them afterwards from a win client.
but perhaps its a workaround

Hi Mark, i had this problems too, when i worked with some grafics , i wrote a bash script which renamed there special filenames every day. Maybe a guru has an solution for you , but in case of /\ i dont know any Regards

Unfortunately this is something that is extremely important.
There are LOTS of filenames which contain slashes.
Some of these are also customer artwork, meaning we cannot go about renaming them either.

Hi Mark,
as far i know,
\ / are interpreted as path signs, i am not clear why any software should interpret this in another way.
using special signs as filenames are a bug in user brain not in the software of fileservers, whatever you use

I'm currently in the process of creating a fileserver so some mac guys at the company I work at can save files as a backup medium. (long story short i'm creating a fileserver running samba 3 with 1TB of storage)
However, a lot of the files that they want backed up contain characters that samba refuses to accept (when I try transferring a file to the samba share with say the filename as "test \ test / test" the mac reports that it cannot transfer the file.
I've been told there is a way to use UTF8 with Samba 3 so it can accept these, how can I do this?
