Hi List, I use samba server on my webserver and mount the share with a linux client to backup the files remote. Problem is, that I cannot access all files with linux cifs client and secondly filenames are changed, so that the backup (when possible to access the files) is not well done. On the server output of ls -lah is: insgesamt 400K drwxr-xr-x 2 web178 client14 4,0K Mai 28 2008 . drwxrwxrwx 13 web178 client14 4,0K Okt 17 2013 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 web178 client14 59K Mai 28 2008 JulianKiendlGitarre.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 web178 client14 79K Mai 28 2008 Kost?me1.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 web178 client14 51K Mai 28 2008 Kost?me2.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 web178 client14 55K Mai 28 2008 MuellerReeb.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 web178 client14 42K Mai 28 2008 Partyraum.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 web178 client14 60K Mai 28 2008 Schlegel.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 web178 client14 38K Mai 28 2008 Tanzen.jpg on the client side: insgesamt 392K drwxr-xr-x 2 1124 1051 0 Mai 28 2008 . drwxrwxrwx 13 1124 1051 0 Okt 17 2013 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 1124 1051 59K Mai 28 2008 JulianKiendlGitarre.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 1124 1051 79K Mai 28 2008 Kost_me1.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 1124 1051 51K Mai 28 2008 Kost_me2.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 1124 1051 55K Mai 28 2008 MuellerReeb.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 1124 1051 42K Mai 28 2008 Partyraum.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 1124 1051 60K Mai 28 2008 Schlegel.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 1124 1051 38K Mai 28 2008 Tanzen.jpg LANG=C cp Kost_me1.jpg /tmp/ cp: cannot stat `Kost_me1.jpg': No such file or directory The charset is correct, some folders use the right chars (üäö...) which are displayed on server and client right. I tested to access the share with windows client and can open the picture, so i am able to access the files from windows. Mounted are the shares with: //web1.domain.tld/root$ /backup/src/web1 cifs noauto,sec=ntlmv2,ver=1,cred=/root/.smb/web1.domain.tld 0 0 Samba on Server 3.6.3 Kernel on client 3.5.0-49-generic (Ubuntu) Any Idea, how I get access to 1. the original file names (no translation to _) 2. can access the files (possible done, when 1. is done) Thanks for you help, Thomas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
