RE: RSYNC with DoubleByte Character file names



Thanks for that SuperMMX..

My default system local is currently set to en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8.  It is the only locale that I have configured.

I am currently mounting the share using the following command...

smbmount //xxxxxxxx/filesync /mnt/filesync -o username=xxxxx,codepage=cp950,isocharset=utf8 

or 

mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxxx,codepage=cp950,iocharset=utf8 //xxxxxxxx/filesync /mnt/filesync

When I list the contents of the mounted share,  the chinese named files display as ??????.htm

Does anyone have any further ideas ?

thanks


Adam

first, you should make sure that the mounted file system can be read in the local host. And if the file system contains files with both simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese  names, it is better to mount in UTF-8 charset, and in a UTF-8 locale, they should be read correctly. 

Is is mounted as a SMBA file share system? if yes, there are some configurations need to do in /etc/samba/smb.conf : ( I have no such experience, just copied from
somewhere[1])

   display charset = UTF8
   dos charset = CP950
   unix charset = UTF8

It is nothing related with X server, :)

hope this is helpful.
