I have a Samba server installed on FreeBSD (latest releases of both),
and an old Windows application that uses the 8.3 short names in
directory listings. I have the problem that the 8.3 file names
returned are quite strange, and hardly resemble the originals. Some
examples:
"Hy Energy" -> "HIl81N~K"
"5700_files" -> "5s2IOA~P"
"KWJ ENG" -> "KA7YD3_N"
"CPS-100" -> "" (blank)
I used an Ethereal trace to verify that these are indeed the short
file names coming from the server (in the Trans2 FindFirst2 response).
This seems to affect both directory names and files. I have no
problems with long file names.
The files were originally created on a Windows PC, and were then
copied to my FreeBSD machine by putting them onto an external USB hard
drive, and then mounting this hard drive on the FreeBSD box.
Any idea why the 8.3 names are so weird? Is this typical for Samba
now? I can open the files no problem, but it will be a pain for my
engineer to figure out which file is which.
Thanks,
Dave
