I'm confused as to exactly what you are doing. Are you getting a
directory listing then working with it in a script? If so, the problem
is a disconnect between what ls displays and the actual file names.
However, if you rework the script to bypass the listing and simply
execute it against all the files, it should work. Since you don't seem
to need to know the actual file names, this should work.

Try doing cat XXX?.url. To rename it, try mv XXX?.url XXX2.url.
Alternatively, try using a graphical file manager to access the
files. They should allow you to rename or copy the files.
Or you can try renaming them on the Windows side.

Hi
I am running Samba v3.0.20-2 on Redhat Linux.
to get right to the point:
THE PROBLEM:
I am using mount with type=smbfs to mount a WIndows XP share.
The share has filenames with special chars (the Registered symbol
(r)) . This filename appears in Linux directory listings with a
"r" in place of the (r) char. If I try to access the file, I get
a "File not found".
i.e.
"ls -l" shows filename "XXXr.url"
but if I try "cat XXXr.url" I get the msg "XXXr.url no such file
or directory"
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
I have tried setting the dos charset and unix charset both to
UTF-8 with no results, likewise to the DOS default CP850
Anyone know how to address this? It would be an acceptable
solution to substitute chars in the filename, I just need to be
able to access/ copy it.
Thanks
